Beast feeding is great because it provide all the nutrients that the baby needs including the important antibodies. The position also allows the mum to have direct eye and body contact with the baby. At the time, the baby gets to hear the mummy's heartbeat and feel the warmth of the bosom, a great assurance.
Infant Formula.
There are mainly 3 types of milk formula. Majority are Cow's milk formula. Baby who are allergy to protein in cow milk formula can opt for Soy-based formula or Protein hydrolysate formula. There are also three kind of formula, namely powdered (cheapest), concentrated liquid and ready-to-use infant formulas (most expensive).
All milk formula will need to meet a strict nutrient recipe by the FDA. But not all formula will contain iron. There are also enhanced formula that contain arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are omega-3 fatty acids found in breast milk, fish and eggs that enhanced baby's eyesight and brain.

Very comprehensive!
We will be feeding our BB with Beanstalk most probably. But what complicate the matter more is, there seems to be a difference on the same product if they are originating from different country. Like Beanstalk, the one you are showing is made in Japan, but there are some that made in Hong Kong, too.
we LOVE BREASTMILK.
In case u might need more supplies in the future.Feel free to order from me hahahhaha
I am not sure if we can get Jap formula here in SG. Will check it out. One good thing abt Jap formula is they have omega3, a reason why Jap kids dun wear glasses! but some mum can breastfeed up to 1 yr old!
Wah..no need ar. Save the remaining for Gabby!
