What Formula Feed Is Similar To Breast Milk In Taste?
My little one is 4.5months old. He was exclusively on breast milk earlier. I want to introduce some kind of formula as I think my breastmilk may not be sufficient for him. I have tried enhamil and similac advanced. He notices the taste or smell and refuses to have it. What formula is closest to breatmilk?

Hi,
You can take AR or soft preparation of similac or Enfamil. Usually the closer one is Enfamil and easier to digest. However if intolerant to these, O lac variant of Enfamil may be tried. Also if still not taking bottle feed you can try natural nipple variant of Avent feeders.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
