"Best" formula for previously ebf 4 month old

Sorry if it's a daft question but I would welcome any opinions on what would be the "best" formula for an up to now breast fed, often refluxy baby?
Going to start with just one formula feed a day, rest will still all be breast milk.
Thanks!

The one that is most easily available from your local shop. All formula is virtually identical and must contain a certain amount of nutrients.

there is no 'best' one as it depends what suits your baby. You could get a few different branded cartons and see what they get on with best

Thanks both, I suspected that was the case (feel silly for asking now Blush

You could alsotry sniffing some to see which you'd prefer to have socked up over your clothes... I hate cow and gate but have heard good things about hipp organic from a smell perspective

They all tend to be the same as has been said. However you can get formulas specially designed for reflux, it is usually a bit more expensive I think but not loads more.

Just buy a few different ones and see which ones suits your baby best. I tried my DD with Aptimal but found she would throw most of it up an hour or so later (she's not a sicky baby normally), so swapped to Hipp organic and she's been fine with that.
