When breast feeding and formula feeding, what formula is the closest to breastmilk?

It's my 1st pregnancy and I am planning on pumping breast milk and formula feeding...What formula is the closest to breast milk?

Public Response to When breast feeding and formula feeding, what formula is the closest to breastmilk?

  1. Enfamil claims to be the closest to breastmilk. I use the Walmart kind because it is identical to Enfamil but half the price!
  2. You'll probably just have to see what works best for your baby. No formula is as good as breast milk. You can ask your child's doctor for a recommendation, but every baby will react differently to each type of formula.
  3. nothing can really compare to breast milk.....try your hardest to exclusively pump and breastfeed. But don't pump before 3 weeks, it messes with your milk supply and some would say nipple confusion. good luck
