Can you change formulas or is that bad for baby?

  My pedi said they are all pretty much the same so it's ok to switch.

  assuming your LO doesn't have any GI issues then our rec. was always "buy whatever's on sale!" you will be fine. But if your LO has GI issues it's best not to interchange formulas. Also don't use soy interchangeably, it is completely different than traditional formula.

  I was wondering the same thing. DH came home with the wrong type tonight. We usually use Similac Sensitive, and tonight he brought home Similac Sensitive RS. It just seems the main difference is the RS is supposed to make them spit up less. I don't see how there can be much of a (negative) difference, but we'll give it a try!

  I mailed out your coupons/checks today BTW!

  Formulas are very different. If it is the same TYPE but a different brand then it shouldn't be a problem. But if you got a sample of Nutramigen or Soy and you use regular Enfamil with Iron then you will have some intestinal issues as baby adjusts to the new stuff.
