Change Formula Contract For Free

With the recent baby formula shortage partially driven by a voluntary recall of some Similac baby formulas, Enfamil has identified products on its website that might be a suitable swap. Experts note that in cases where your infant doesn't require specialized formula, you should be able to switch brands safely.

Parents often want to buy the formula on sale; they wonder can they switch it up and save money? I say yes. There is no danger in providing your baby differing formulas from one day to the next. Think of it this way: babies who are breast-fed have a slightly different milk each and every meal due to mom's variant diet.

It usually takes about seven to 14 days for babies to adjust to a new formula. They might like one immediately, but they also might not like any of them right away.

There's no evidence that switching to a different formula does any good or harm. However, if you think a particular brand of formula disagrees with your baby, talk to a midwife or health visitor. They can help you decide whether to try a different type.

Try making a gradual change if your baby does not seem to like the new choice of formula. You can start with a combination of three parts old to one part new, and when your baby accepts that, move to half-and-half. Keep gradually changing the ratio until you are feeding only the new formula.

You won't harm your baby by changing brands, but if your baby balks when you switch (by showing a sudden disinterest in this new formula or refusing to finish their bottle) you may be able to introduce them to the new formula gradually rather than all at once.
