store brand formula (x-posted)

Alegra has never had any problems with it, and her Pediatrician said that
it's fine (for Alegra) so the store brand worked for us.

I think the key phrase here is "for Allegra." Every baby is different, and
different formulas will be tolerated in different ways by each baby.

That said, when our boys were being discharged from the hospital (they spent
their first 5 wks there because they were preemies) the NICU's dietician
told us there was really no difference, nutritionally, between the various
brands.

One thought for the OP: talk to the store manager and find out who makes
the store brand for them. That will tell you what "brand" of formula you're
really getting. Other than that, try a can--your babe will soon tell you if
it's a formula she likes :-)
