I’m currently breastfeeding my baby. They’re on medication and doing well. However I want to change to formula and solids, is this OK?
Answer
Thanks for getting in touch.
It’s great to hear that your baby is doing well.
With regards to changing from breast milk to formula, then yes this is possible. With formula there’s no risk of transmission. As for solids, this all depends on the age of your baby. In the UK solids aren’t introduced to babies until they’re 6 months old.
