Switching from BM to formula

Hello!  I do not post much on here.  My little girl about 8 1/2 months old now and has been on BM since day 1.  I had a great freezer stash built up but have been using it the last month or so.  I am now down to hardly anything in the freezer, I haven't been producing enough to keep up with her either.  My supply has slowly gotten less and less the last couple months.  I think I might produce about 10-12oz per day and have been taking about 2-3 of my 5oz freezer stash daily.  I know I will have to put her on formula soon but I wanted to gradually introduce her to it.  For moms out there that formula feed their baby, can you recommend what formula you use or recommend?  TIA!!  :)

    I nurse and use formula and I  honestly use whatever store brand I can find.  I really don't get why people spend more on name brands that aren't any different.  DD has never cared or noticed.

    We use Similac advance in the blue tub. How much is the kirkland large tub as opposed to similac?

    We started supplementing around 6.5 months and we use target formula...it is comparable to Similac Advance.  Their 40oz tub is $22 (something like that).  We have had no problems.  She is getting between 8-12oz of formula a day now.  I will probably be making the transition to full formula soon.  My supply is REALY low.

    we used kirkland brand with DS1 as well from 6 months on...
    now i'm using it with DS2 as well and he's had no issue with it. i just switched to fully FF as of this week and he's doing fine with it.

    so much cheaper!

    We had to supplement since 2 months - switched fully to formula at 7.5 months, we started with Enfamil Gentlease ( I got tons of samples & coupons in the beginning) at around 6 months we switched to Target Up & Up brand, the gentle formula that is comparable to Enfamil Gentlease. He did just fine with the switch, plus it's cheaper and you get more!
