Weaning and Formula milk

Kte · Mar 12th, 2010, 08:22 AM

At the moment Chloe isn't ready for weaning but I am gathering all the info and facts so I get on with it confidently when the time comes.

Currently she is on hungry baby milk, when I start weaning I am wondering when I should switch to the 6 month milk? Obviously I don't want to switch straight away when I start weaning as she won't be getting all the nutients for one and for two I think a complete change all together may prob upset her tummy at the least!

I just don't want to give her too much with the HB milk but don't want her to go hungry!

You don't need to switch to follow on milk at all. It's unnecessary for babies who are eating a balanced diet.

I changed Ruby back to first milk from hungry baby once she was eating significant quantities of solids.

Thanks, I was wondering as it says up to 12 months on HB box yet they do this follow on stuff from 6 months! Totally confused me!

Good idea going back to normal once she is eating more thanks
