Enfamil NeuroPro Infant Formula
A pediatrician-familiar, easy-to-find milk-based formula that hits all the FDA nutrient bases without asking you to overthink it.
The verdict
Enfamil NeuroPro is the one most US parents reach for first, and for good reason: it's a standard cow's-milk formula with added MFGM and DHA, it's stocked at virtually every store, and hospitals hand it out so babies are often already used to it. It mixes cleanly and is available in ready-to-feed for those bleary 3 a.m. bottles. Skip it if your baby is showing signs of a cow's-milk sensitivity or you specifically want a USDA Organic or European-style formula, since this is a conventional milk-based blend. The MFGM 'brain-building' marketing is more prominent than the evidence, so buy it because it works and is everywhere, not because it will make your baby a genius.
