It is recommended to transition from one formula to another through gradual bottle by bottle weaning process. A sudden switch to another formula type may can lead to fussiness, feed refusal and sometimes constipation. Introducing the new formula for the first feed of the day when the baby seems particularly hungry may reduce the risk of potential fussiness in the evening. Substituting one bottle each day with the new formula over a period of 5-6 days will help your baby in completely changing over to the new formula. Another option to transition could be to offer alternate bottles of the new and old formulas to your baby.
