Which formula for a newborn? (also in Baby)
Hi
I am gatecrashing from pregnancy - my first baby is due on 4th Feb.
I am really hoping to breastfeed, but after seeing the problems my sister had, I thought I'd get some formula in stock just in case...
I was therefore wondering whether anyone had any recommendations for which brands of formula are best for new borns? I thought I'd get some cartons in initially (for ease of use more than anything else) and then move onto the powdered stuff if I need to.
Any advice much appreciated!

I started bf and then moved to formula so wanted the nearest I could find. My HV recommended (even though they're not allowed too but she's really good) Aptamil First, my baby also has colic and so I didn't want to make this worse. Been using it for 2 weeks an no problems yet! I know a couple of friends whose babies started out on SMA gold but they had colic too and both moved to Aptamil and saw improvements quickly! Everyone has an opinion but this is my experience.
Good luck for Feb!
