If you want to go the formula route, I would suggest a formula marked “sensitive” because it is easier on the baby’s tummy. Also, some babies like the powder version rather than the ready made bottles and vice versa so be careful with that as well.
Similac Sensitive
If you are using powder and want a “baby keurig” this is your new favorite toy. You program the formula you are using and then press play. It’s that easy! I would use filtered or distilled water, I would NOT use water straight from the tap.
Formula Pro Advanced: Baby Formula Dispenser
Phenomenal for bottles! Just be careful because the steam does get really hot…but I would still get it again for baby number 2!
Smart Bottle Warmer With Bluetooth
If you are on the go a lot and want to warm up the bottles wherever you are, this is for you. Works great, no mess, and easy to use :)

Organic Baby Oatmeal
If you’re as paranoid as me regarding heavy metals in the baby food, this is a great alternative. You can choose different flavors, it’s also sold at Whole Foods, and it’s not full of bad stuff.
Holle Organic Whole Grain Oat Baby Cereal
Can’t say enough good things about this company. It’s organic, it’s made in Europe so it has better standards, and there are a lot of different flavors to choose from!
Holle: Pouches
Make a note of the recommended ages for each type of food, but I absolutely love these! They are pretty big so you can get either 1 really big feeding (if your baby eats that much) or multiple feedings. Organic, healthy, and actually tastes really go...
