Question
Can baby formula brands be changed? Under what circumstances should medical assistance be sought? How long does it take to see improvement during the treatment period?
Answer
Before the baby is six months old, it is not recommended to change formula brands random , as the baby’s digestive system is not yet mature and may struggle to adapt to new formulas, potentially causing diarrhea and other issues. For babies over six months old, it is possible to try changing formulas, as different brands have unique formulations that can help comprehensively supplement nutrition. However, it is not advisable to mix different brands of formulas long-term; they should only be briefly mixed during the transition period. If discomfort occurs during the changeover, medical attention should be sought promptly, and the treatment time will depend on the baby’s recovery progress.
