Hi

Your pediatrician will be best suited to address this since babies only typically get switched if they aren't doing well with the particular type of formula they are on. Otherwise, they should have advised you at the hospital before discharge which brand to use.
This is for informational purposes only. For medical advice or diagnosis, consult a professional.

It's important to consult your pediatrician to determine the best formula for your baby's specific needs. They can consider your baby's age, health, and any allergies or sensitivities.  

Here are some general tips for choosing a safe baby formula:

Choose a formula that meets FDA standards: All infant formulas sold in the United States must meet strict FDA standards to ensure they are safe and nutritious.  
Look for the "Nutrition Facts" label: This label will provide information on the calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and minerals in the formula.
Consider your baby's needs: Some babies may need special formulas, such as hypoallergenic or soy-based formulas.  
Talk to your pediatrician: Your pediatrician can help you choose the best formula for your baby's individual needs.
