There are no materna to get, as far as as I searched. (there`s a thread that talked already about it.) so what is the most close in taste & nutrition? my baby takes alot of bottles and want him to like it too. I heard liqued similacs are expensive so what els? what do you prefer?

I live in Southern US and we have a store called Publix locally, and I've been buying their store brand soy formula that has an OU on it.

It's working for now, but I'm concerned with his soy intake. Wondering if I should move to Cholov Stam, because of health issues related to soy intake.

1. Ask your rav about using cholov stam temporarily for your baby for health reasons. I know people who were given this heter.
2. If doctor is ok with it/you can't use cholov stam, use soy.
Materna should be coming back after Pesach I think.

What till after pesach? so that means I need to change furmula permanently. I think chhanging back will be harder, my baby will be bigger.

big problem. soy isnt so healthy to use esp in boys... and the only cholov yisroel formula available is similac.

you can try buying it wholesale straight from mehadrin, it'll be cheaper. (but still expensive).

How old are your kids, Yippie? If under 1, they won't be getting proper nutrition from milk instead of formula.

I'm reviving this thread since I think I may need to switch to a different formula from materna. I'm donw to my last can.

I'm curious to know what people switched to and what worked. any suggestions?
