What kind of formula should I use?

There are a lot of options—cow’s milk-based, sensitive, soy-based, hypoallergenic… it can feel like choosing the right college. For newborns, most start with standard iron-fortified formula unless your pediatrician says otherwise.

If your baby gets super gassy, fussy, or rashy after feeds, they might need a different kind, but always talk to your pediatrician before switching things around.

And remember, there’s no “best” formula—just what works best for your baby. You’re not being graded.
