Formula in the USA Post Reply

Just wanted to ask some advice...I am due to move to the USA shortly. Currently we use HIPP stage 1 formula. Can any mums who have lived in the US suggest a similar brand?

The formulas in the US aren't the same as in the UK. The main brand that most people use in enfamil - they have a lot of different varieties depending on age and allergies.

Hi - my friend who lives in New York uses Earth's Best which is also an organic formula, and has had no problems. However I don't know how similar it is to HIPP in terms for ingredients. as the previous poster said, US formulas are v different to UK - one of the differences being that there is a ton more iron in US formula, for whatever reason! they also look and smell very different. I think your LO will have to get used to a different milk, could you maybe bring some HIPP over with you and gradually introduce the new one. We go to the US every summer and I have used enfamil for my daughter and she was fine, just took a few days to get used to the new taste. Good luck!! x

Thanks so much for the advice. I've tried him on a little Enfamil today and so far so good but did bring out Hipp so can introduce him slowly to this.
