Question
When a baby is almost six months old, can parents switch to a different formula milk brand, and what potential adverse effects might this have on the baby.
Answer
From a nutritional perspective, a baby can switch to a different formula milk brand after six months old, which helps them absorb a balanced range of nutrients. Breast milk contains many different natural immune factors that are beneficial for the baby’s intelligence and growth development. Unless there are special reasons, it is recommended that parents continue breastfeeding at least until the child is two years old.
