A member asked:

Is it ok for my baby to eat similac formula during the day while at daycare and then eat generic target formula made to be like similac at night?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely fine: As long as the components are similar to each other (milk based, lactose free, soy, elemental), interchanging brands of formula does not usually present problems.

Dr Kwok and another doctor agreed
