Costco makes great formula. Baby formula is heavily regulated and it’s really not necessary to go organic or non-dairy unless your baby has a serious digestive issue and your pediatrician recommends it. “Organic” as a term has become really soft and meaningless in a lot of ways - just a marketing term. So FWIW, we did Costco formula and my son thrived. It was no stress, affordable, and I never had to worry about shortages or where to buy it.
I second Costco! My LO is 2 months, bern using formula and BM since she was born due to low supply. I feel like she has had less issues with gas than when we were using Enfamil.

We tried a few and looked at lots of ingredients and chose Similac Advanced Pro for both babies (also started all formula at 5 months for both kids)

Aldi has good formula and more of a euro approach.
We used the same 2 formulas as you, currently using Bobbie. Also really liked Similac Pure Bliss (their version of Euro-style formula) but it’s sold out everywhere due to supply chain issues. We switched from Happy Baby bc/ the palm oil was making my baby constipated.

I use earths best but I have hear that bobbie is the “holle” equivalent in the US
Your pediatrician probably told you breast milk is best, but you do you! With my first I had low supply so needed to supplement and son did well with the "gentle" type formulas. We did this until he was 1 and then switched to only formula plus lactose free milk.
The first sentence is unnecessary. We all know it’s best but it comes off like you’re shaming her 😬
Didn't mean to offend. In fact I have many friends who refused to even try BF. Their kids are fine.

It’s just that in your case of low supply, it doesn’t matter that breast is “best” because it wasn’t enough. No need to project that on someone else.
We supplement with formula and use Enfamil Enspire.
Both my kids were on Baby's Only (a Nature's Best brand). I couldn't breastfeed though I tried for a long time with both. I've gotten counsel from 3 pediatricians and also did a lot of research and this brand is great - but more importantly, pretty much whatever you decide is great because of the advances in formula now!!
Earth’s Best. I liked that there was no corn syrup.

Same for similac idk why that’s in so many…. Seems crazy

I’m a health nut and after extended research I decided on Bobbie. We switched around 5 months too and had no issue
