Is expensive formula better for my baby?
Not necessarily. All U.S. formulas must meet the same FDA nutritional standards. Premium formulas add ingredients like MFGM or lactoferrin, but a standard formula your baby tolerates is a perfectly good choice.
How do I switch formulas?
Most babies can switch directly between standard cow’s-milk formulas. Introduce gradually and give it 1–2 weeks. For specialty or hypoallergenic formula, change only on a pediatrician’s advice.
