EBF...need to suplement with formula and need advice

DD is about 8 1/2 months and I have been EBF. I have been working three days per week and pumping while at work. In a couple of weeks Ill be going back to work full time and decided to supplement with formula while at work. I have no idea which formula to use. So far she has no allergies. Which formula did you like? Also, how much do I give her per feeding? Thanks for the help ladies!

DS is 3mths and I give whatever is on sale. Thankfully he takes to all formulas fine. I do prefer Similiac over Enfamil but only because its a little cheaper and I get a lot of checks in the mail.

We do a mix of Gerber Gentle and Enfamil AR because he was eating so much of just the Good Start. He does great on it and my dd was on Good Start with no issues either

We gave her Enfamil and had no problems at all.

We have tried similac advance & sensitive, enfamil & gentlease. Ds didn't do well on any of them so we tried Gerber good start gentle & have had no problems.

I used Enfamil with DS, and later Gentlease and then Nutramigen with DD (she ended up having a milk protein allergy)
I did not use Similac (even though I had tons of freebies) b/c my pediatrician said they are the only formula that does not have the recommended amount of DHA. (Which is true - recommendations is above .2%)
