"Sma hungry baby" help please

[StressedButBlessedx]

My 9 week old needs to go from "SMA Pro milk 1" advised by the health visitor. But like an idiot I forget to ask the process of switching the formula type and if it needs to be gradual.

Has anyone done this with the same formula? Did you make a straight switch or did you do alternate feeds? I'll attach a photo of both formulas to show which I'm switching to.

Thankyou :)

I'd just do a straight switch but I'm surprised a HV is telling you to use hungry baby milk.

Thankyou, and why's that? Are they not supposed to? X

Past experience they normally just tell you to up the number of feeds as hungry baby milk is just filler than can cause constipation.

Oh dear, that's the last thing I want for him. Especially after having his first vaccinations today, it's the last thing he needs:( I'll try increasing feeds first. Thanks for letting me know

Did the HV tell you to try hungry baby milk? How much milk is he consuming at the moment?

She did. Atm he's having around 4-5 oz every 3 hours. He's 10 weeks on Friday

There's no way I'd use hungry milk at that age. It's harder to digest and can cause constipation. I'd give more first milk and wait until he is having full bottles of that before considering hungry milk.

Okay, thankyou :)
