formula brand if I can't nurse? which is best?

I really should have researched this already but if I can nurse her for some reason, what is the best brand of formula? I don't want one full of chemicals and loads of crap. Any opinions?

Maybe pumping and feeding in bottle.  None of my kids have latched on.  Hoping for this one to do it or else it's back on that pump

I use the Walmart brand of Enfamil the yellow one and both my boys and they did great on it. It's a great price too! Some of it can be very costly.

I used similac for both my girls since I couldn't breastfeed.

Similac actually has an organic line, but if you read the ingredient labels on the formula, they all have the exact same ingredients whether it be similac, Gerber or just Safeway brand.. but organic is definitely first choice for me!

Check out baby milk action they are a great group and have a lot of the info on the formula brands... you may choose not to go with one on principle alone. They are very corrupt and unethical. I was buying similac for my nephew and the first ingredient was corn syrup solids! If cash is an issue costco has an organic gmo free brand that's just a few dollars more than similac. Good luck, I hope you can nurse, it really is easier, cheaper, and best! : )

From what i read similac is actually NOT good contains gmos like most of the formulas here in us.... holle which you can get on ebay is organic and one of the "safest" if you cant absolutely breastfeed... im trying to read as much as i can on gmos baby formula
