Is there a certain baby formula that is better than others?

My baby is 6 months, and I am trying to find the best formula for her. Is there a certain formula that is better than others?

There is an abundance of baby formulas and more than likely they all do very well, however, I always suggest going for formulas that have been around for a long time, but have been tried and proven so that we know there are no difficulties in the balance of the nutrients. I would not look for a discount formula or something brand new on the market. When dealing with an infant who is going to be on a formula for anywhere between 10 to 12 months, it’s important to get the primary nutrition down properly so we need to be sure. But if the manufacturers have had their product on the market for quite awhile, that way you know that this formula is good.
Any formula with DHA and ARA and all minerals and vitamins.
All formulas are required to have a safe amount of vitamins, proteins carbohydrates lipids that promote growth. Some companies add other ingredients that promote good bacteria in the gut and better brain development.
