(HealthDay News) — If you’re a new mother who decides not to breast feed, you’ll need to select a baby formula…








Which one should you choose? Here are options to discuss with your doctor, courtesy of the American Academy of Family Physicians:

Does your baby need an iron-fortified formula, or one that doesn’t contain extra iron?

Cow’s milk and soy-based formulas are both options. But your baby could be allergic to either one. Most family doctors recommend cow’s milk-based formulas, the academy says. (I have my own issues with soy based anything, suffice to say I disagree with soy as an option, this will be the topic of yet another post…)


Baby formulas are sold in three forms: ready-to-use (no mixing required), concentrated liquid (mixed with water), or powder. Again, discuss these options with your doctor.
