#asktheexpert which formula milk is best for the baby?

A. For a 5-month-old baby, the best formula milk is one that is age-appropriate, easily digestible, and iron-fortified. Popular and trusted options include Similac Advance, Nan Pro 1, Enfamil A+, and Aptamil Stage 1. These formulas are designed to closely mimic breast milk and support brain and physical development. Choose a formula based on your baby's needs—some are gentle for gassy or colicky babies, while others may be lactose-free or hydrolyzed for sensitivity. Always prepare it hygienically and follow the instructions. Before starting or changing formula, it's best to consult your pediatrician to ensure the right choice for your baby.
