Both formula feeding and breastfeeding are valid, healthy choices for your baby. The decision to do one or the other – or a combination of both – is purely personal and depends on what’s right for your family and circumstances.

While many experts recommend breastfeeding for at least the first month or two, exclusive formula feeding – either right from the start or after a period of nursing – can also be a perfectly a healthy way to feed your baby. Many formulas are even fortified with vitamins and other nutrients that breastfed babies have to get from supplements, like vitamin D.

Listed below are the top ten milk formulas to help your baby grow.
