Is there such a thing as infant formula that is easy to digest?

My baby is almost 4 months old. I've been breastfeeding her, but I would like to supplement with another kind of milk as it is awkward to feed her like this in public and I have some health problems that make it difficult to breastfeed all the time.

But I am concerned about her having a hard time digesting baby formula. Is there one that is better than the others? How is the Organics brand?

    My baby had probalems digesting regular formula - so we switched to Soy formula. She did great on it until 12 months when the doctor said she could start drinking whole milk - which she switched to with no problems whatsoever!

    You should try regular formula first, though, I think - because your baby might be able to digest it just fine!

    the soy is for sensitive tummy's and it makes it easier to digest or even the Enfamil Premium Lipil which is closest to breast milk is great. my daughter was only breastfed for about 3-4days and was supplemented at the hospital so it was really hard to get her to suck because the bottles just let the milk come out so fast and breast feeding my daughter needed to learn to work for the milk it just became frustrating but she went thru 3 different formulas. I started her on Enfamil Premium Lipil and it worked so great then once i went to wic they dont offer that so she had to switch to regular Enfamil Lipil and she was soooo gassy they thought she just had spit up problems so switched her to Enfamil A.R and she was soo gassy on that too even with gas drops so i just switched her to Enfamil Prosobee the soy kind and for sensitive tummy's and she has been on it since it is the best besides Enfamil Premium in my opinion. i hear now that wic is offering Enfamil Premium i wish they did when my baby was born we wouldve never had any problems.my daughter is also 4months old good luck!
