i breastfed but baby needed milk until my colustrum came in...i'd bring your own soy based in case your baby ends up having issues with milk as mine did.

Just to follow up with the last post. The hospitals have soy based formulas if neccessary.
I always encourage parents to not approach things with the 'what if my baby' mentality. It is better for them to start w/ normal formula (in this case) and to see what happens.
A personal recommendation, if you decide that you will be an exclusive breastfeeder but desire formula for the first days of life or for emergency back up I would use GoodStart. It's easier to digest and the newest version includes cultures that mimic those of breastmilk-the closest thing we've got to Breastmilk and may be easier to transition between formula and breastmilk.
