which formula is closest to BM?!

srcunn87 · April 2012

Hi ladies, i'm mostly a lurker on here but I could really use some help! My daughter has been BF since birth and I had a freezer supply that we have gone through already and i'm going to have to rebuild. I'm a server so my shifts vary in length and I only have 4 oz of BM for tonight, so I'm going to purchase formula just incase my shift is longer...i really don't want to have to but I don't want her to starve! I only want it for as a back up if i'm not home and they use all the BM until i can get my stash back up. so my question is which formula is closest to BM with some of the same benefits. TIA!!

Similac advanced is advertised as being closest the breastmilk.

Our pedi told us she thinks Gerber Goodstart with probiotics is the closest to BM, I don't know if that is true but our LO seems to tolerate it better than some other brands and it smells nicer to me

I have heard Gerber is as well but I think it all depends on what your LO will tolerate. My pediatrician said there really is not that much difference between formula's today so he recommended going with whatever is the cheapest for us and that LO would tolerate. Too bad LO ended up with soy and milk intollerances and we had to go on the most expensive one out there.
