This comprehensive guide is here to help you navigate through the sea of options, whether your baby is a newborn or a toddler, or has special dietary needs.
Ease of Formula Preparation is Important
Let's face it, parenting is a full-time job. That's why we recommend formulas that are quick and easy to prepare. Whether it's stick-type or cube-type, these formulas dissolve effortlessly in hot water, giving you more time to bond with your little one. And if you're a fan of canned formulas, we've got options with user-friendly lids and scoops.
Sweetness of the Formula
Did you know that breast milk has a sugar level of around 10 degrees? A formula that's not sweet enough might leave your baby unsatisfied. Brands like "Meiji's Smile" and "Wakodo's Hai Hai" are known for their higher sugar levels, while most others are not far behind, ranging from 10 to 11 degrees.
Good Foaming is Also Important
Foam can be a real deal-breaker when it comes to baby formula. Too much of it can make feeding time a struggle. That's why it's crucial to opt for formulas that keep foaming to a minimum.
