| Choosing a formula for your baby can be difficult; the selection is huge, and since this will be your baby's primary diet for the next year, you want to be sure that you are making a good decision. The first step in choosing a quality baby formula is to pick a brand that is easy to find. By choosing a nationally available brand, such as Similac or Enfamil, you can be certain that you will be able to find your baby's formula regardless of location. Nationally respected brands, such as Similac or Enfamil, also benefit from the most current research and quality testing to insure a safe and nutritious product. The peace of mind that comes from choosing a formula that you know meets your child's needs should not be sacrificed to save a few dollars. Another benefit to choosing a well respected formula is that you have a selection of different types of formula within the brand. For example, if your baby is allergic to milk, you may choose a soy-based formula. If your baby has trouble digesting the proteins in traditional formula, you may choose a selection that already has the protein components broken down. Enfamil Lipil is a premium formula, and is is the first formula containing docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid. These components, commonly known as DHA and ARA, are important building blocks to brain function. While these components are found naturally in breast milk, Enfamil Lipil is the first formula in the United States to offer them. |
