Default Should I feel guilty about feeding my baby generic baby formula?

My first child was fed Similac. I have been researching infant formulas and am finding that PBM makes the generic version for most stores (Walmart, Albertsons, Target, etc.) It has the same nutritional standards as Enfamil, and has even more DHA and ARA than Similac, but each can is $12 cheaper! I bought the Walmart brand today (Parent's Choice) in the organic version and for some reason I feel guilty about it. Any thoughts/feedback?

If your baby tolerates this formula and seems to be fine with it, do not feel guilty! You've done the research, you've gone organic, it's fine. Here's a thought -- every time you buy a can, slip $12 into the baby's college fund!

I kind of felt the same way with my first child, but I asked the doctor about it and he said that there is virtually no difference! All your paying for with similac and enfamil is the advertising! Don't sweat it girl! Your doing just fine and you shouldn't feel guilty! Next time in the store, compare the similac label and the parent's choice lable. They're practically identical!
