Answer

Hi

Congratualtions on your new baby.

Please talk to your doctor about changing the way you feed your baby.

Recommendations are different in different countries. So long as you have clean water to make the formular feed this should be okay, but only if you swtich and saty with formular feed.

It is not god for the baby to keep changin as this increases the risk for the baby.
