Guide to Switching Formula
Every baby is unique, and most babies may likely adjust well to transitioning to a new formulation. However, some may find the change in formula more difficult and may experience short-term tolerance issues. Because of this, it is recommended to transition gradually, to allow their digestive system to get used to it.
The baby may notice a difference in taste depending on the type of formula and this may impact how they accept the new formula. Some may experience minor tummy discomfort.

Alternate between your current and new formula
Your baby may better adapt when changes in feeding are introduced gradually. Alternating between the current and new formula feeds may ease their transition.
-
Try morning feeds first
We recommend starting the changeover with a morning feed so you can monitor any symptoms that may occur during the day.
-
Don't mix feeds together
We don't recommend mixing the existing and new formula together in the same feed because if there is something that does not agree with your baby it may be difficult to detect.
-
Give it some time
Be guided by your baby, if they are not tolerating the new formula, slow down the changeover. The transition can take up to 2 weeks.
