Choosing the right formula milk: Are some formula milk brands better than others?

I think gold often denotes a higher iron content (is that right?), which is a concern if your child doesn't actually need extra iron.

That's what my gp said

I thought the gold implied things like extra omega fats etc.

What about organic?
I thought it might be healthier and it's not Nestle or Karicare so you can buy it without worrying about 3rd world babies...
But now I think about it...... they probably use organic milk as the base but after that it would be just as processed as the other formulas.

I was told that some bubs actually get more tummy pains from the gold and not to bother with it as the difference was very minimal.

I think that the only expensive ones that make a difference are the ones made of completely different ingredients, ie goat and soy. (I also think the HA maybe a little better too)
My DS did completely different poo's on goat formula compared to cows.
But yeah, between the regular cows, I never thought there was much difference.

Make your own! I wish I'd known about making your own when I supplemented with some formula. That stuff in a can is very denatured food.
