Feeding baby two different formulas
Can I Mix Different Baby Formula Brands For My Baby?
18 Comments
Often new parents are nervous about mixing and matching infant formula they offer their babies. They worry if they switch from one formula brand to another, they may cause their baby fussiness, stool changes, upset or worse–that they could put their baby at risk.
It’s safe to mix and match infant formulas if you are following standard mixing instructions. Really.
Although spitting up or gassiness is usually not due to the protein in formula (cow’s milk versus soy versus hypoallergenic), sometimes changing formula helps new babies and their parents who worry. Switching them up can even help clarify worries in some scenarios when a parent worries about excessive gassiness, intolerance, or significant urping or spitting up.
Experimentation with formula brands in an otherwise healthy newborn is okay. But it’s not necessary at all, either.
It’s fine to make a bottle that is ½ formula from the blue can and ½ formula from the yellow one. Fine to serve Simulac one week, Enfamil the next, Earth’s Best or Goodstart followed by Soy formula the following day. Fine to buy one brand that’s on sale only to buy the other brand next week.
However, all this being said, I usually recommend families don’t switch often. Let time unfold and give your baby a chance to settle in. Don’t react to every single poop. Give your baby a week or two on a formula before you give up or reach for a new can.
Recently one of my best friends found that when she served her baby organic formula he got constipated but when she used non-organic, he didn’t. She was determined to provide him as much organic food as possible but really hated seeing him strain to poop.
This is where Goldilocks come in. She texted me one night assuming that she couldn’t mix and match formulas, but “just wanted to check and see.” I felt she could. Viola! She found that making the “just right” formula (1/2 organic mixed with a ½ conventional) provided a bit more balance for her newborn son.
She found that when she fed him the Golidlocks bottle, the hard stools and potential constipation improved.
Fine by baby. Fine by pediatrician. Mama Bear felt better, too.
Parents often want to buy the formula on sale; they wonder can they switch it up and save money? I say yes. There is no danger in providing your baby differing formulas from one day to the next.
Think of it this way: babies who are breast-fed have a slightly different milk each and every meal due to mom’s variant diet. Although fat, calories, and protein count remain constant, flavor and variety changes. A slightly different recipe at every feed.
Goldilocks Infant Formula Rules:
- Never add sugar or juice or cow’s milk to infant formula.
- Don’t fix what isn’t broken. No need to switch formula if no concerns.
- Don’t dilute or concentrate the formula you make for your baby. Standard powdered formulas usually mix 1 scoop to every 2 ounces of water. Follow directions and use the scooper that comes with the formula.
- In the US, in my opinion it’s safe to use tap water to mix infant formula. However, some families may want to avoid excess fluoride consumption from tap water for babies exclusively formula fed. Here’s info from the CDC on fluoride for formula feeders. No need to purchase distilled water (in plastic bottles) and no reason to boil water prior to mixing either–if you want, you can remove fluoride with a reverse osmosis filter system.
- If your baby is super cranky, doesn’t react well to a change in the formula you offer, or you’re worried about a potential intolerance or allergy, talk with their pediatrician about a plan for selecting the best infant formula for your baby.
- Continue to feed infant formula until 12 months of age.
No Goldilocks mixing with cow’s milk or other milk-substitutes prior to that 1st birthday.
Here’s some physician-reviewed information on infant formulas from the NIH:
Standard milk-based formulas:
• Almost all babies and infants do well on these formulas. Fussiness and colic are common problems. Most of the time, cow’s milk formulas are not the cause of these symptoms and parents do not need to switch to a different formula.
• These formulas are made with cow’s milk protein that has been changed to be more like breast milk. Lactose and minerals from the cow’s milk, as well as vegetable oils, minerals, and vitamins are also in the formula.
Soy-based formulas:
• These formulas are made using soy proteins. They do not contain lactose. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends soy formulas for parents who do not want their child to eat animal protein, and for infants with galactosemia or congenital lactase deficiency.
• Soy-based formulas have not been proven to help with milk allergies or colic. Babies who are allergic to cows’ milk may also be allergic to soy milk.
Hypoallergenic formulas (protein hydrolysate formulas):
• This type of formula may be helpful for infants who have true allergies to milk protein, and for those with skin rashes or wheezing caused by allergies.
• Hypoallergenic formulas are generally much more expensive than regular formulas.

Switching baby formula: Possible side effects, when to do it, and more
Like so many other baby products, different baby formulas tend to develop their own devoted followers. Once you find one that checks off the right boxes (it's affordable for you, comes in bulk, and hey, your baby likes it!) you probably couldn't be paid enough to voluntarily switch to another brand.
Unfortunately, you might not have much of a choice right now: Formula shortages in the United States have sent parents scrambling to track down their baby's preferred formula brand, and many of those parents have been faced with the task of switching formulas as they come up empty-handed in their quest.
(Note: Here's an updated list of available formulas that are in stock online now.)
Whatever your reasons for wanting or needing to switch formulas, it might take a little finesse to get your baby on board. There are also a few things to look out for and keep in mind for a smooth transition. Here's what you need to know about making the change.
What kinds of formulas can be switched?
In most cases, it's fine to change formulas, as long as you stick with the same type. For instance, the ingredients in all cow's milk-based, iron-fortified infant formulas (recommended for most babies) are essentially the same.
Likewise, if your baby is on a pediatrician-recommended partially hydrolyzed infant formula (a type of formula given to babies who are sensitive to cow's milk), switching to a different brand of partially hydrolyzed formula won't harm them. But if your baby is on a special type of formula, such as a formula designed for premature babies, and you're considering switching formula types, check with your pediatrician first.
And don't switch from a cow's milk-based formula to an extensively hydrolyzed formula without talking with your pediatrician first, since they may not need to be on that type of formula, which is hard to come by in the shortage.
Formulas made with goat's milk are also becoming more popular. If you're currently feeding your baby cow's milk formula, talk with your pediatrician before giving your baby goat milk formula, which may not be necessary.
How to introduce a new formula
If you're ready to switch your baby to a different formula, it could be as simple as opening up a new can and diving right in (again, assuming you're switching to the same type of formula). Most of the time, you can just stop using your old formula and begin using a new one without any drawn-out transition.
Just because it's safe for your baby to switch formulas cold turkey, though, doesn't mean your baby will like it. The taste may vary slightly – some formulas are sweeter than others, for example, and your baby will probably have gotten used to the flavor of their previous formula.
Some formulas are also made with added nutrients, like fatty acids and probiotics, and that can also affect the taste. Switching from a ready-to-feed to a powdered formula, or vice versa, may also take some getting used to.

You won't harm your baby by changing brands, but if your baby balks when you switch (by showing a sudden disinterest in this new formula or refusing to finish their bottle) you may be able to introduce them to the new formula gradually rather than all at once.
Can you mix different baby formulas?
Yes, you can mix different baby formulas, as long as one hasn't been recalled and you're preparing it safely in terms of the ratio of formula to water. If you're worried about mixing correctly, try preparing both formulas separately, and then mixing them together after they've been prepared.
If your baby is resisting the switch to a new formula, mixing some of the new in with the old – a little at a time – can help them get used to the change without giving them too big of a surprise at feeding time.
Of course, this may not always be possible (for instance, if you've run out of the old formula).
There are different methods when it comes to combining the right amounts of a new and old formula brand. But generally speaking, you can start by mixing two parts old formula and two parts new for a couple of days until your baby seems used to the new flavors. Then you can switch over fully.
More sensitive babies, though, may need a more prolonged approach. In that case, start with three parts of your old formula and only one part of your new formula, then switch to 50/50, and finally to one part old, three parts new before using the new formula exclusively. If you have enough of the old formula, you can give your baby a few days on each one of these steps to adjust more slowly.
Remember, though, that this isn't necessary unless your baby is struggling with the adjustment.
How to mix and store formula
Watch a pediatrician demonstrate how to make baby formula and store it safely.
Side effects of changing formula
You may be worried that switching formulas will cause side effects, especially tummy-related ones, but the good news is that side effects are uncommon (and any that do pop up should be pretty temporary, resolving within a few days). The most common side effects of switching formula are fussiness after feedings and changing stool patterns, either looser or less frequent.
It's not a sign of trouble if your baby's poop changes in frequency or color. Remember that formula makes up a big part, if not all, of your baby's diet when they're young. If you changed your entire diet overnight, your bowel movements would probably change, too! Your baby's stomach may need some time to adjust to new or different ingredients.
Some parents worry that excessive gas or other bowel oddities indicate a difficulty tolerating a specific kind of formula. But the truth is that all babies have gas – a lot of gas – so gas alone doesn't mean your baby can't handle whatever kind of formula you're giving them.
It also doesn't mean they have an allergy to cow's milk. (Incidentally, many children who are allergic to cow's milk-based formulas are also allergic to soy-based formulas, so if you think your baby is allergic to milk, switching to soy isn't recommended.)
If your baby's stool suddenly becomes very firm after starting a new formula, they may be constipated. This isn't an immediate cause for alarm, and can happen when switching formulas, since your baby's stomach is sensitive to changes.
Try these basic remedies for easing constipation at home:
- Give your baby a warm bath.
- Move their legs in a "bicycle" pattern.
- Give them a small amount of 100-percent prune juice once a day. While babies aren't supposed to have juice before they're a year old, a little bit is okay and might help relieve their constipation. If your baby is younger than 4 months old, talk to your pediatrician before trying this.
- If your baby has started eating solid food, give them pureed pears or prunes, or whole-grain cereal like cooked oatmeal.
If your baby still doesn't poop after trying these tips, if they've gone five or more days without a bowel movement, or if trying to pass stool seems to cause them pain, call your baby's pediatrician. They may advise you to use a suppository or another medication, but only do this at their recommendation.
Of course, there is always a chance that your baby won't tolerate their new formula well. Don't ignore side effects like rashes, itchy or irritated skin, frequent diarrhea, fatigue or lethargy, and vomiting. If there's blood in your baby's stool or in their vomit, call your baby's doctor immediately. These are signs of a true formula intolerance.

“You chose to be poor and sick” A woman's right to control her own body is a key principle of feminism. Important aspects of this principle are the right to abortion and the right not to breastfeed after childbirth. It would seem that the freedom of choice, to feed or not to feed, will give women the opportunity to finally enter the world of men on an equal footing, work without interruption, build a career, achieve a higher economic and social position.
In fact, history shows that not breastfeeding does not improve women's economic well-being. The mass choice of formula feeding in the 1950s did not create equality in the workplace or free women from maternal work. Regardless…

We eat sour milk, but NAN as well as the main mixture. I know that changing mixtures without reason is not desirable. But I don’t change, but sometimes I just give another one. What do you think?

Good afternoon! substantive question.
Is it possible to give different mixtures per day ... well, or alternate? the fact is that we are on breastfeeding, from six months I began to supplement the sour-milk Agusha-2 ... and now there is very little milk left, for one feeding, and we still won’t really introduce complementary foods to the end. Now, on average, I warm up 2-3 packs of Agusha -2.Accordingly, we lack what they bring from the dairy kitchen)) But for not having the opportunity to leave the house, I now gave the dry mix Malyutka. Surprisingly, my son liked it) But he really likes Agusha-2 ... but if you go only for dry mix, what do you do with fermented milk?

Went to the store for formula the other day, the saleswoman asked for two packs of HIPP formula for formula feeding. This chuchundra gave me one pack for CB and another for IS. But Yana paid attention, came home and poured both packs into a large tin can.
In short, I mixed them and immediately noticed that the empty packs from the mixture were slightly different from each other. Do you think it will be necessary to throw it out now, yes?
different mixtures
Complain My milk suddenly disappeared, and this mixture was advised by a relative. I breastfed my first, so I don't know much about formulas. They began to give “Baby” on milk, gradually, as the doctor advised, they introduced it, they screamed like that for two days. After that, they switched back to Nutrilak. And today they gave Bellact on milk. Also, the reviews are different: who says that g ..., and who started to poop normally, so I think to try it. We don’t poop anyway, and with Nutrilak we don’t poop ourselves, and the belching is terrible. girls, share your feeding experience

we have been breastfeeding a little for two and a half months and supplementing with Similac Premium.
began to poop badly. Well, that is, once a day, or even a day and a half, we don’t go. before we go, we do exercises and massage, but there is no other way! Is it possible to give 1-2 times a day, for example, instead of the usual mixture of fermented milk, in order to solve problems with the stool? or just change the mixture, although we like it! what to do please tell me!!!
about various mixtures, supplementary feeding
Complain , so I feed my radish with a mixture. We switched from frisolak (which gave us allergies) to Karbita (based on goat milk), but this did not remove the problem of constipation, the baby still poops once a day (today I haven’t had a gift in a diaper yet), I want to introduce supplementary feeding with a milk formula that relieves colic and constipation, but there is cow's milk whey. i.e. you get 30 ml with cow + 60 ml goat. Who knows if this can be done?

I don’t want to change this mixture (before that, they ate Nutrilon pepti gastro and Nutrilon ha. There was a chair, but there was an allergy). I am still afraid to introduce kefir, as there is a suspicion of lactose intolerance. Is it possible to replace one feeding with a mixture of the same Similak Comfort brand? .

May 29, 2020 00:43 am at Personal Journal We are now eating a mixture of Hipp Combiotik.

Now we are almost 1.5 months old, she eats 130-140 grams at a time, she tried more - she doesn’t eat up or spit up. And he starts asking for food after 2, sometimes 2.5 hours. I would like it to be stable enough for 3 hours already. Only sometimes enough for 3 hours. An hour and a half after feeding, the child begins to worry, he can spit up air. I offer water, drink.

Perhaps it is harmful to combine different brands?

9How do I introduce new formula into my baby's diet? If for some reason it turned out to be necessary to introduce a new mixture into the child’s diet, then this must be done gradually. Often, the mother herself decides to change the mixture to “some better” and introduces it in one day at once in full. A few days later, she learns of the existence of a "more modern" mixture and, again with the best of intentions, quickly changes the old mixture to a new one.
It is good if the baby does not react to this in any way, but sometimes the child may have an allergic reaction or some kind of digestive upset. And not only because the food, perhaps, was not chosen correctly, but to a greater extent ...0 04788 MY REVIEW OF MIXTURES FOR THE NUTRITION OF CHILDREN IN THE FIRST YEAR OF LIFE.

… It so happened that my child and I tried many different mixtures. I have long wanted to share my experience with you. Maybe someone will come in handy. I will say right away that I did not compare the composition. I evaluate according to external data. I note that my son had no allergies to any mixture. Anyway, here's some food for thought: — The first mixture I bought was Nan. My mother fed all three of them (that is, he was familiar to me) and therefore I bought it home FOR EVERY CASE. But in the RD, the son was in the NE and they fed him Similak in the RD.
Therefore, when I left the hospital, the first thing I did was buy a jar of Similak Premium. Nan spent about a year on the shelf in the closet, waiting in the wings. Briefly speaking. Once I opened it and began to give it to my son. Tepe…

At first they were fed with Nutrilon, there were abundant regurgitations, then with Bellact (the same thing). They began to feed with anti-reflux nutrilak, regurgitation stopped.
Upon returning home, the baby began to eat little of this mixture (it is thick), as a result, she gained almost nothing in a month. We decided to switch to Nutrilak Premium, the usual adapted mixture. At first, everything was fine, she ate with appetite, ate the prescribed norm, pooped regularly, the stool was of a good, yellow color.
