I agree it is really trial and error. DD had Nan in hospital and it was fine but I couldn't find i when I was discharged so bought S26 which made her constipated. Finally got some Nan and it was all good. Then she developed Secondary Lactose Intolerance (not caused by the formula) and I had to put her on delact which is Karicare and tasted very different so had problems there! Now she is back on normal formula but we have stayed with Karicare to avoid the taste difference again... Karicare is working fine with us.

When I was initially chosing formula my MCHN told me they are all much of a muchness. Some have extra bits added which the company likes to think makes them better than others but there is no real evidence either way. All formula's have to meet strict standards in Aust so any "Extras" are a bonus.

HTH and don't feel bad for not BFing. I lasted less than 6 weeks and DD is a happy, healthy girl which is all that matters.
