HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The use of formula does not mean that your daughter would develop ADHD, many children who would were given formula do not develop this condition.
There are some formula fed children who are diagnosed as ADHD and medical studies show that this condition is more common in formula fed infants compared to breast fed. This does not mean , however, that your daughter will have ADHD.
If you have any concerns regarding her behaviour or development, you can consider speaking to her doctor.
I hope this helps
