Hi
My baby is 7M and have just switched her to stage 2 formula.
Not sure if its coincidence but wondering if anyone has had experience with fussiness when sqitching ? Had her first bottlw this morning and has non stop whinged all day.
She could of course be tired or teething but just wondering if anyone has had anything happen when switching as thats only other thing to have changed 🤷🏻‍♀️

Save your money and put her back on stage 1 formula. There is no need for stage 2 - it was only developed to get round the advertising laws for stage one.

You don’t need to change to stage 2 milk @mandy55555. It’s the same except with a little more iron. It exists to get around the restrictions on advertising first infant milk.

Stage 1 is fine all the way through. I actually think you can get good offers on some stage 2 formulas compared to stage 1. But not worth stomach upsets etc.

Interested in this thread?

I wouldn’t bother swapping to stage 2 if babs is happy with stage 1. It’s just a way to get around advertising laws.

We switch to stage 2 to get the good offers but have never had any tummy issues. Maybe give it a bit longer and switch back if she doesn’t settle on it.

Stage 1 is very heavily regulated and it can't be advertised or have BOGOF deals etc. I think that the ingredients are regulated too so there's not much variation between brands.

I've always stuck to stage 1 until LO is 12mo and then just use cow's milk and other drinks.
