The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

When you say "newborn formula," you probably mean infant formula to use when breast milk isn't available or insufficient.

The Turkish Ministry of Health and World Health Organization (WHO) recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. For babies who can't receive breast milk, commercial infant formulas are used. During the newborn period (0-3 months), formulas are labeled "stage 1" or "starter." These formulas are designed to meet all your baby's nutritional needs.

When preparing, it's critical to follow the package instructions exactly — neither too much water nor too little. Use boiled and cooled water; formula should be prepared fresh and any leftovers should never be saved — it must be used immediately.

I can't make a specific brand recommendation, but when choosing, make sure it's appropriate for your baby's age, contains iron, and doesn't have added sugar. Consulting with your pediatrician when making a choice is best.
