formula question

mimi1017 · June 2011

So I have been giving DS the Enfamil newborn formula..but I will be switching him to the infant one (still Enfamil) after he finishes it. Do I need to mix it so he can get used to having it? Or is it alright just to start giving it to him after I run out? I wasn't sure since it's the same brand. TIA.

I would just change over cold turkey. There isn't much difference in the Newborn one..... I think there is just a little more vitamin D in the NB formula. I compared the two when deciding on a formula and the ingredients are basically the same. I didn't think it was even worth using the NB and changing to the infant one. We just went right to the infant formula and my LO was a preemie. (I EP for 6 weeks or so)

Just go ahead and switch right over. DD started in the hospital with similac then we swtiched to enfamil (thats the only one the WIC gives in NY). I used the newborn one a few times then switched to the yellow can

I read somewher, not sure where so I can't link it, that the newborn is exactly the same as the Gentlease but they add vitamin D. I went from NB to Gentlease cold turkey. No problems here.
