Which formula should a 4-month-old baby have? I wanted to get your opinion before going to the doctor.

When choosing formula for a 4-month-old baby, the most important thing is that it's appropriate for the baby's age — that is, labeled as "stage 1" or "baby" formula, 0-6 months formulas. But every baby's digestive system works differently; while one formula might work well, another might cause gas, constipation, or fussiness.

So before going to the doctor, here's what you can consider: if your baby has never tried formula before, starting with a small package and observing their reaction is the smartest approach. Following the preparation instructions on the package exactly is also very important — making it too dilute or too thick can throw off your baby's balance.

I can't recommend a brand, but I can tell you this: if your baby shows any reaction like gas, vomiting, or rash on a formula, don't keep using the same one and tell your doctor about the situation. Your doctor will help you and your baby determine the most suitable formula based on your baby's needs.
