My first is coming very very soon and I wanted to get a thing of formula beforehand in case we need to supplement, but looking at them all is very overwhelming.

    Of course. I know the first one can be super overwhelming just because of how much info there is. If your baby isn’t growing well or getting the nutrients they need, their doctor will let you know and make recommendations for different supplements or variants of formula.

    Oh, and if you end up using a bag to hold the powder, make sure to switch the bag. I know someone who didn’t and they weren’t letting the bag empty beforehand, so once they got to the bottom of the bag they were feeding their kid months-old stale formula. The sealable bags are great because it’s super easy to drop the canister and formula is so goddamn expensive
