I exclusivley formula feed my baby. She' s 4.5 months now. I give her Enfamil Lipil w iron. That' s the only one I tried and it agreed with her immediately. Call you ped and ask him/her for suggestions. Who knows you may also end up with cans of formula/coupons ,just like how I did : )
coz formula is expensive.
I don' t know where you live. The one I mentioned is available in the US

Well Breastfeeding the best..trust me no matter what..well if you want to use breastpump and give it to her in the bottle..then you should go ahead and do it..cause sometimes if you start on her formula..her digestive tummy wont be able to take it..and will cause upset stomach..or vommitting..but if you want to start her on formula..then i would recommend you starting on GOODSTART SUPREME formula...i live in usa..and that worked for my daughter..and the only reason i started giving her formula because i didn' t get ANY MILK..at all..

BREASTFEEDING IS THE BEST...:)
