Is it contraindicated to give follow on milk to a 23 week old?

I want to change my DD's formula to Organic. Unfortunately she doesn't seem to tolerate the powdered formula and only has the pre made stuff, she has reflux and is worse when she has the powdered formula.

The only pre made organic formula I can seem to find is Hipp Organic Follow on milk, suitable from 6 months.

Is it ok to give this to her?
Or does anyone know of an organic pre made first milk?

Thanks in advance

Yes it is contraindicated - the nutrition provided by follow-on milks is not suitable until 6 months. If you have medical reasons for wanting to switch to an organic formula, speak to your doctor or health visitor for advice. Otherwise, you really should wait until she reaches 6 months.

Thanks AMum. I'm finding it really hard to find any premade organic formula! I started DD on Hipp first milk and she doesn't seem to like it all that much, it takes ages to give her a bottle now, I never had these problems with my boys!
