I am no longer a parent; my son is happy and well but I can't see him until I get some stuff sorted out.

Parenting Stack Exchange is unbearably sad for me now.

Thanks for the help, and I hope that I was at least some use here.

I welcome friendly chats over email. dan dot bealecocks at googlemail dot com yes that's my real name.

OPINION: You're unlikely to get an answer. Any studies will compare formula with breast feeding, rather than formula with formula. I think that there's not going to be any good quality (certainly no double blind, controlled, randomised) trials of various types of formulas. My opinion is that you pick a brand name you trust (or at least one that you're not boycotting) and go with that. Sorry this is not an answer.

comment Should we give our infant baby food to avoid feeding at night?
@dave - I just had a quick look and UK formula milks tend to be fortified with iron if the milk is for a child over 6 months. (There's a strict law about advertising and selling formula milk for children under 6 months, so 'follow on' milk is a way to get around the advertising ban).

comment Should you give honey to a newborn?
@WernerCD - tooth decay is the third commonest cause for child hospitalization in the UK. There's absolutely no reason why a child should undergo painful risky medical treatment to have organs removed when simple brushing and avoidance of sugar would keep them healthy.

comment What is the reason for covering infants during transport?
Vitamin D deficiency is a serious problem. In the UK people are recommended to give their children a Vitamin D supplement.

Any particular country? In the UK the law is pretty strict and they're all fairly similar.
