Buy some kendamil, see if your baby likes it and gets on with it. If its all ok, then just switch. Generally its not great to switch all the time but moving from one to another and sticking with the new one is fine.

There’s no harm in switching but if your baby is getting on fine with Aptamil then I’d just leave it.

Just change it. It's marketing by formula companies that makes health professionals say not to switch. Nothing bad happens because the ingredients should not be so different that it causes a problem. Don't be switching between different types of milk (first stage, hungry etc) but different brands is no problem, especially if it's a one time switch.

Try him with a bottle and then build up so you’re swapping more and more. It’s not a bad thing to do one swap, it’s more that you shouldn’t keep swapping all the time
