Gradual transition: Any commercially available formula is adequate for feeding. Transfer slowly, over 2 weeks or so. Lessen the one formula each session while giving more and more or the other formula until the baby is on only new formula. You should try for at least 2 months after the transition is complete. You should notice less cramping and gas.
