How many months does the baby change to three stages of milk powder?

Milk is very important in the baby's growth process, especially many mothers now have no breast milk. Most babies grow up by eating milk powder, and babies who eat milk powder face the situation of changing stages. Each age group has its own milk powder, and many parents don't know how many months to change. So, how many months should the baby change to three stages of milk powder? Let’s learn more about it through the following introduction.

Generally, babies can switch to stage 3 after they are one year old, but the stage divisions of different brands of milk powder may be different. If your baby has a good appetite and spirit, is well fed with complementary foods, has normal bowel movements, and is growing in height and weight normally, you can change the stage according to the age division in months marked on the package of the milk powder you are using. It should be noted that when changing the baby's stage, it is necessary to use the correct spoon-turn/stop-turn method to switch, and avoid the time when the baby is sick or immunized. If immunization is required, the switch can be postponed for 7-12 days.

The method of changing milk is to "mix the old and the new": parents should mix the milk powder to be replaced with the milk powder previously drunk by the baby when changing milk. Try to add appropriate amount of new milk powder to the originally used milk powder. Start with a small amount and slowly increase the proportion until it is completely replaced. For example: first add 1/3 of new milk powder to the old milk powder. After eating this for two or three days without any discomfort, eat 1/2 of the old and 1/2 of the new milk powder each for two or three days, then eat 1/3 of the old and 2/3 of the new for two or three days, and finally transition to completely replacing the old milk powder with the new milk powder.

Through the above introduction, we know when the baby should switch to stage three milk powder. When changing the milk powder for the baby, we must master the method of changing the milk powder to avoid changing it directly to prevent the baby's gastrointestinal discomfort all of a sudden. However, when changing the milk powder, the low-stage milk powder can also be changed when the baby is almost finished eating to prevent waste.
