Does changing milk powder have any effect on newborns?

If you pay attention to the method when changing the milk powder for your newborn, it will generally not have any adverse effects. When changing milk powder, you should mix the new milk powder and the old milk powder in a certain proportion and then feed it to your child. Let your child slowly get used to the new milk powder, and then switch to the new milk powder. If your child shows some symptoms of discomfort after changing to new milk powder, you should change back to the old milk powder as soon as possible.

If the baby has no abnormal reaction after eating, it should be fine. Generally, do not change the milk all at once, because it can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort in the baby, and may cause diarrhea, etc., so change it slowly. There won't be any big problems if you change the milk powder directly, but you might worry that the baby won't be able to accept it all at once and the stomach and intestines won't be able to absorb it, which will lead to diarrhea and other phenomena. Of course, this may not happen to some babies. Check the baby's digestion and whether the bowel movements are normal. It is best not to replace the milk powder directly. I’m afraid the baby won’t be able to adapt. After all, the baby's stomach and intestines are not fully developed yet. There will still be a transition period when you change milk powder next time.

Babies are not suitable for frequent feeding. Because children's digestive systems are not fully developed, it takes some time for them to adapt to digesting different foods. Therefore, parents must not let their children change milk frequently. Each type of formula milk has a corresponding stage milk powder, because the baby's stomach and digestive system are not well developed, and the formulas of various milk powders are different. If you change to another type of milk powder, the baby has to adapt again, which can easily cause diarrhea in the baby. Changing the feeding schedule should be done gradually; don't be too hasty. The whole process may take one to two weeks to give your baby time to adapt. Parents should pay attention and observe. If the baby has no adverse reactions, then the dosage can be increased. If the baby cannot adapt, changes should be made slowly. In addition, milk switching should be done when the baby is in good health, without diarrhea, fever, cold, etc. It is best not to switch milk during vaccination.

It is also important to note that when changing your child's milk powder, do not frequently switch between several different brands of milk powder. This is mainly because the child's gastrointestinal tract is very delicate. If different brands of milk powder are switched repeatedly, the child's gastrointestinal tract will not be able to adapt at all, which may eventually lead to indigestion or vomiting of milk.
