Switching From Breastmilk to Formula It is very important that you do not suddenly switch from breastmilk to formula.

Do's and Don'ts When Transitioning to Solids Go slow, choose one-ingredient foods first, then work your way up. Choose simple, healthy foods without spices. Follow baby's cues on how much he or she wants to eat. Give baby plenty of water in a sippy cup throughout the day. Let baby get messy.
