HELP! Confused on which formula to use 🤔

[Paw220911]

Hello Everyone,
First time Post - first time mum to be, please be kind as this is probably something so trivial and easy for some.
I am really over thinking & working myself up over which formula to use for my little one due end of this month. As the time is getting closer I really need to pick which brand to go with.
Unfortunately I am unable to breastfeed due to medication, current health problems & treatment.
I am looking for an option that has ready made bottles & formal, and am really struggling between picking between Aptamil, SMA & Cow & Gate.
Is there really much difference, can I go wrong with any of them?
As myself & my husband are only children we haven't had any babies born in the family & all my friends have breastfed.
Thank you so much in advance 🥰

@Dmxxx I'm ordering some today. It's basically my last ditch attempt to get her to drink more than a couple of oz at a time. Gaviscon is helping the silent reflux but she's taking so little. Fingers crossed she likes the taste.

This is true but I still believe other brands can be better with their ingredients. Like how Kendamil uses whole milk and other brands use skimmed. This means that the other brands can make more of a profit because they use cheaper add ins, whereas whole milk is a more premium source of nutrition.

Oh Christ - I promise I don't work for kendamil (check my posting history!)

But it arrived at 9 this morning - very impressive seeing as I ordered it from them at midday yesterday.

Dd isn't well today. She's had an awful night. But she's had one feed of kendamil and taken the whole 5oz over an hour, even though she's grizzly. She was actually drinking it while drifting in and out of sleep. She never does that. Usually clamps her mouth shut.

That's unheard of for her. It takes me 45mins to get an 1oz down her most of the time.

Could be a fluke. Could be because she's ill. But I have an empty bottle in front of me for the first time in weeks and I could cry.

It's sort of the same consistency as Hipp but creamier and whiter.

And of course I've had a taste. It's like single cream. Compared to cow and gate which tastes like actual vomit.

Please all keep it crossed that this wasn't a fluke feed. I'm just happy that she's got some milk in her on a day where she's really under the weather.

@Dmxxx I'm so glad you posted yesterday. It was seeing your post that made me think sod it, it's worth a go.
