Baby formula is divided into stages, and each stage of formula is suitable for different babies, so mothers need to pay special attention to it. Some mothers believe that their baby's formula is divided into different brands, but they overlook the time limit. So, how long does it take for the baby to change formula?
Babies aged 0 to 6 months are suitable for the first stage of formula, babies aged 6 to 12 months are suitable for the second stage of formula, babies aged 12 to 36 months are suitable for the third stage of formula, and babies over 36 months are suitable for the fourth stage of formula. At this point, it is necessary for the mother to change the baby's formula according to these time limits.
When changing the baby's formula to the next stage, it is necessary for the mother to keep the previous stage of formula and mix the two time periods of formula together to prevent the baby from being unable to accept the new stage of formula and developing allergies or diarrhea. When mixing, it is important to allow the previous stage of formula to gradually adapt to the new stage of formula, reducing the occurrence of abnormalities.
The time for changing baby formula must be based on the time specified in each stage. Some mothers believe that their baby's first stage formula contains more comprehensive nutrients, so they let their baby continue to eat first stage formula after 6 months. This will affect the baby's absorption of nutrients. The requirements for baby development vary at each stage, and if you continue to feed your baby formula for a period of time, it can easily affect their development.
