Although it is said that the best kind of milk a baby can receive is that of their mother's, sometimes it just doesn't work out that way for every family. So, I am here today to share with you all about the in's and outs about baby formula based off of some research. I will share about the top rated formula brands, price, and where to purchase.
While using the "shopping" tab on Google, I found a top rated list of baby formulas when typing in "best baby formula" and also a most popular list while searching "baby formula." While comparing the two searches on Google Trends, I decided to continue with the keywords "baby formula" as it had a search interest of 90 (almost a peak popularity) whereas the keywords "best baby formula" only had a search interest of 7. After continuing my search, I pulled the top three brand names, which appeared the most, in no particular order Gerber, Abbott (Similac) and Enfamil. According to Google Trends, people in the U.S. have a search interest for the following, Gerber (46), Similac (39) and Enfamil (14) throughout the past year. Now, this does not mean these are the most bought formulas, but it does mean that they have been the most searched over the past year making them very relevant. So, if you are looking to follow a blog based off of our Internets trends, then lets dive right in and begin with the most searched brand of formula, Gerber.

As you can see many of these formulas are very different whether some are your basic formulas, others help to fight off gas or reduce excessive crying in babies. So, these products may have been highest rated in their specific areas not overall formulas, however, I hope this data helps all the new moms or moms to be out there as you start your search for formulas. Please feel free to share and comment your experiences/opinions with formula favorites and non-favorites.
