There are two situations with formula:
Breastfed baby: The first 6 months are recommended to be breast milk only. From month 6, solids are introduced while breastfeeding can continue until age 2. Formula supplementation isn't needed unless medically necessary (inadequate milk supply, mom's choice, doctor's recommendation).
Formula-fed baby: Started from birth. From 0-6 months, use "infant formula" (stage 1); from 6 months, use "follow-on formula" (stage 2). After 12 months, regular cow's milk can be introduced, though AAP recommends waiting until after 12 months.
Important: Formula choice depends on your baby's age, tolerance, and any allergies — no single brand is "best." Your pediatrician's recommendation is your best guide.
