Can i change baby formula?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes,but: Formulas are not like paper clips, no two are identical & an infant may have trouble transitioning between products.There are 3 basic types: those based on bovine milk protein, those on soy, and those with protein pieces the body will not reject if allergic to either. Be cautious & monitor the child's reactions to any change & be ready for vomiting or diarrhea as the most common rxn as a problem.

Yes: You can certainly switch baby formulas from one standard formula to another standard formula.
