After one year of age, breastfed babies almost need to quit breastfeeding, and at this point, breast milk can no longer meet the physical growth needs of one year old babies. Although there are more complementary foods that babies can eat after one year old, milk should still be the main source for one year old babies. So, how many stages of formula should a baby consume after the age of one?
After one year old, babies should drink three-stage formula milk. Babies over 1 year old can start transitioning to a diet primarily consisting of grains and cereals, with formula milk powder serving as the primary nutritional supplement.

Balanced ratio of walnut oil and nucleotides in milk powder DHA、 Protein and other nutrients nourish babies' sleep, absorption, body, vision, and intelligence, making them healthier in five aspects.
If the baby wants to change the three-stage formula, it cannot be changed directly. According to the correct formula transfer method, 1/3 of the new formula should be added to the original formula on the first day. After two or three days of adaptation, if the baby can accept it, the ratio should be adjusted to 1:1. After two or three days of adaptation, the new and old formula should be adjusted to a ratio of 2:1. Finally, the transition to the new formula is completed.
The entire process of milk transfer should be gradual and gradual, allowing the baby to adapt slowly. If there are no adverse reactions in the baby's body, milk transfer can be done. If the baby cannot adapt, it should be changed slowly.
