Stage 3- Follow on milk...when?

[lulu0504]

Ok so i know the cartons all say 6 months but is this to the day? What are the benefits of follow-on milk? Is it just the extra iron content?
Was just wondering about when to make the switch and about whether it has to be to the day or can it be before or after 6 months

Is it even necessary? I am considering just keeping her on stage 1

I changed over at exactly 6 months, shouldnt have bothered if they're having a good diet, the change is unnecessary

I changed at 5 1/2 months but HV told me that I didnt need to as long as they are eating well the stage 1 can be continued until 1 year. She said she would only advise the change if she suspects the child need more Iron and vits.
