Why is formula milk so expensive

Why is formula milk so expensive? I mean there are just 2 or 3 brands that are cheaper like dulac and Grow. The rest are in 50s and 60s dollars range. Is it true that the more expensive ones are better? Or is this just another consumerism or customers are just paying unnecessary cost factors for the company like their campaigns, marketing etc.

It can get quite expensive, I agree. I used formula to supplement breastfeeding. But after my child turned 1, I moved to cow milk and never used formula again.

My 1st was ok with Dumex. My 2nd was very small so Apart from bF, Dr recommend to top up similac (yellow ) . aft 2yrs I changed to Pediasure.

A lot of it depends on your child’s nutrition. Does he or she eat a well balanced meal? If so, you can switch to cows milk after 1 year

I swap from frisolac to nan and now to grow. Hahaha its the most reasonable price for me. others are just due to nicer packaging, marketing etc. this is daylight robbery. 🙃
