If you know that your baby is particularity sensitive to change, we recommend that you gradually introduce them to the new products over one week.Rest assured that any slight changes in digestion should be minimal and temporary.


Should your child experience any adverse symptoms at any stage of the transition, speak to a Health Care Professional on 1800 842 198, call our Careline experts on 1800 438 500 or contact us.


Formula Transition Guide

Start by reducing your usual volume of formula to 75%. Add 25% of the new formula. Do this on every feed for 2 days.

Then reduce your usual formula to 50% and add 50% of the new formula, again, do this on every feed for 2 days.

Reduce your old formula to 25% and the new formula to 75% for 2 days.

If your child has not experienced any adverse symptoms on day 7 you are ready to try 100% of the new formula.

Every feeding journey is unique

 

Not every parent can produce breast milk. No matter what choice you make, we will support your unique feeding journey.  

We at Nutricia believe in providing the best nutrition for babies, which is why we recognise breast milk is uniquely superior for babies as it provides many benefits. It is important that mums have a healthy diet to support breastfeeding. A decision not to breastfeed, or partial bottle feed, may reduce breast milk supply making it difficult to reverse. The cost and social implications of using feeding methods should be considered. Always seek professional advice about feeding your baby. Ensure formula is used as directed as improper use can affect baby’s health.

REMEMBER: The information on this page is general only. If you have any concerns about your baby’s poo or questions about constipation or any other health concerns, please speak to a healthcare professional, like a Pharmacist, GP or Maternal Child Health Nurse.
