SAHM Going Back to Work

I am going back to work on Tuesday from my maternity leave and am putting my son in daycare. I am very worried that I will not have enough breastmilk pumped everyday for him to eat during the day. I was thinking about sending him with whatever breast milk that I did pump, plus formula just in case. Can anybody recommend what they think is the best formula for babies?

All are still sealed and have been sitting in my pantry. I hate to just throw it out when those cans cost $13 or more at the store, but we'll never use them. I am in the Fenton/Arnold area. If you...
