Is there a difference between formula brands? How to choose formula
⚡ Short answer: Expensive formula is not necessarily better: age-appropriateness, iron and vitamin D content, and your baby's tolerance are essential—the formula your baby tolerates well is the best formula.

I got lost among dozens of formulas in the store, and the prices are wild. Is expensive formula better, and what should I look for when choosing?

There's no rule that expensive is better. When choosing formula, here's what to pay attention to:
1. Age range — must match your baby's age (0-6 months / 6-12 months / follow-up formula)
2. Content — it's important that iron and vitamin D are added. In the first 6 months, "starter" (number 1) formula is preferred
3. Your baby's tolerance — even the most expensive formula isn't right for your baby if it causes gas, constipation, or fussiness
There's no "best" formula among brands; price differences usually come from marketing and packaging. Whichever formula your baby tolerates comfortably is the best one for you. If you're unsure, you can start by asking your pediatrician about your baby's needs.
