Are you switching to follow on milk?

Just wondering now maddi is 6months. we are currently staying with our usual milk until weaning is established but i think will give some other follow on milks a try.

just wondering - are you carrying on with your usual formula or switching to follow on?

thanks guys x

I was wondering this earlier. I will probably stick, unless anyone tell me of any reason why I should change!

well thats what i thought amy, my hv seems to think its a bit of a con, though i don't have the best or nicest of hv's i no they need to increase their iron as the store they are born with has been used up, but i no rusks are fortified with iron and lots of veggies contain it. i was thinking along of the lines of if is aint broke!! x

We moved over to SMA progress not long after Hannah turned 6 months. It contains increased levels of important nutrients such as the minerals iron & zinc and the vitamins C & D but it is really down to personal choice whether you move over from stage 1 milk.

Also, you sometimes get offers on follow on milks (ie Boots are doing 2 free cartons with every 900g tin bought just now) which you can't get with stage one milks so can ocassionally work out cheaper

thanks smartie, thats really interesting, i've brought a made up one for her to try, was wondering about replacing one or two of her bottles, as she is on stage 2 hungier baby x

We moved Hannah over by replacing one of her bottles every 4 days until they were all on SMA Progress (although she is still BF in the morning) in case there were any problems, which thankfully there weren't!
