Can infant formula be changed to a different brand at any time?

Patient's question:

Can infant formula be switched to another brand? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to recover? Please help me!

Doctor's answer:

When feeding with formula milk, it is best not to change it randomly within the first 6 months, because a baby's small digestive system has difficulty accepting it. If the formula is changed, many babies may experience diarrhea. For babies over 6 months, you can try switching to a different formula. Different brands of formula have different formulations, which can better and more comprehensively supplement nutrition. Each infant formula has its own unique formulation, and it is generally not recommended to mix and eat them for a long time. Only during the transition period is it necessary to mix and transition.
