A member asked:
When is it safe to switch from breast milk to powdered milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I wouldn't: If your question refers to baby formula in powdered form, it is safe from the start. I don't believe powdered milk is ever appropriate nutrition for a baby.It is too easy to mix at an improper strength, and is empty of many of the supplemental nutrients babies need to grow properly.
