Every baby should have grown up on breast milk, but not every baby is so lucky. Some babies can only rely on formula milk due to insufficient breast milk from their mothers or other reasons. Some babies can only consume breast milk for a few months and have to switch to formula for various reasons. Will switching to formula directly have any impact on the baby?
Directly switching to formula milk can definitely have an impact on babies, especially those who are breastfeeding. Suddenly switching to formula milk can lead to a decrease in the baby's resistance. Because breast milk contains immunoglobulin that is not found in formula, this substance can help babies resist diseases. After replacing the baby with formula, it is equivalent to losing the mother's immunity, so the baby's immunity will greatly decrease.
After switching to formula for the baby, there may still be a period of aversion to milk. Because babies are definitely unwilling to eat bottles at the beginning, and they are also unwilling to accept the taste of milk powder, which indirectly affects their nutrient absorption and physical health. Moreover, the nutrients in formula milk are significantly different from those in breast milk, which can be difficult for the baby's digestive system to handle and can easily lead to diarrhea.
If a baby who is eating formula changes brands, the impact may be smaller, but it cannot be ruled out that the baby may experience diarrhea. If the mother is worried that the baby will have diarrhea due to changing formula, she can alternate feeding the baby with two different types of formula and wait for the baby to adapt before thoroughly changing.
