I'm not quite sure where this post should go but wondering if anyone has some recommendations on a good organic infant formula? My sister is almost at a crisis point with her bi-polar and ppd so I would like to help her find a alternative when she is ready. She has nursed for 2 1/2 weeks giving her little girl the best possible start but is quickly reaching a point where her Lamictal dosage needs to be raised back up for everyone's well being. She is struggling so very much with feelings of guilt on top of everything else I would just like to know if there were some good formulas out there that you natural mamas would use if you absolutely could not nurse due to medications?

The "best" formula for a baby is one that they tolerate well. However, this thread may be helpful for you:

Donor milk may be a possibility. Have you looked into milkshare?
Also, has your sister checked Medications and Mother's Milk to see if it is possible to continue to nurse on lactimal? Here is what Dr. Hale says in his forum, but he refers to his book for more info:
