Patient's question:
The baby was born not long ago, and my wife doesn't produce much milk, so she has been drinking formula milk. I want to know how long premature babies should drink premature baby formula?Doctor's answer:
The first stage of formula is to consume for six months, and the second stage. In fact, for any formula, when switching to a different brand or stage, it is necessary to give the baby a gradual adaptation process. When changing clothes, it is always done a little at a time. The second stage or other brands cannot be changed simultaneously. It should be a mix of Stage 1 and Stage 2. Start with a few scoops of 1 plus one scoop of 2, then reduce 1 by two scoops and increase 2 by two scoops. Do this, and keep offering it to the baby to drink. Gradually, it will completely become Stage 2 formula. Never switch to Stage 2 formula all at once, as this will not allow the baby's digestive system to adapt immediately, which may cause diarrhea.
