Answer
Hello: Typically, infant formula is mainly based on cow’s milk. Although there are some differences, no enzymes can help infants digest it. Therefore, it’s important to alternate between different formulas. The basic principle of switching formulas is to reduce one teaspoon of the original formula and replace it with one teaspoon of the new formula. If the infant does not have any adverse reactions, proceed to replace the second teaspoon. Usually, the discomforts caused by switching formulas are most commonly diarrhea, but most often due to improper brewing of the formula. Therefore, it’s crucial to carefully read the label when switching formulas. Secondly, there may be allergic reactions such as skin itching and rashes. This phenomenon may occur if the newly switched formula differs significantly from the original formula.
