What should I do if my baby changes formula several times a day1

  The baby changes formula several times a day, and the first step is to reduce the amount of new formula used. Babies may develop dependence on formula, and adapting to a new formula requires a process. During the stage of changing formula, do not immediately change the baby's formula. Instead, switch between new and old formula. It is necessary to gradually change the baby's formula, so that the baby can adapt more easily. Never force your baby to change formula, take it slow.

  If a baby experiences indigestion, physical discomfort, etc. during the process of changing formula, it is not recommended to change the formula for the baby. It is best for mothers to mix the original formula with the current formula when changing the baby's formula, using the method of increasing and decreasing the amount, and then completely changing it when the baby gets used to it.

  Control the frequency of feeding infant formula daily. During the process of changing formula, try to give the baby less milk powder and add more complementary foods, so that the baby can adapt slowly. It can be reduced from drinking milk powder three times a day to two times a day. If the baby's diarrhea situation does not improve after using the above methods for one week, stop drinking new milk powder, continue drinking the old milk powder, or switch to other new milk powder.
