If you run out of the regular formula and happen to have abit of another formula is it alright to use a different one for a day until you get more of the regular one you use

Yes you can use them. I asked my pedi because I got some free samples and people gave me stuff and I used it all with no problems.

The tastes might vary a bit but not too much unless its like the sensitive one or a completely different need formula. If you read the ingredients they are basically the same :+) I read that there are actually 3 (I think I cant quite remember read it when my twins were born 12 months ago) manufactors that make formula, so all the store brand is just as good as the name brand they just spend less on advertising.... You should be okay. I tried about 3 different ones till I found the right one, and than I did powder in one and liquid in another because only that one sold the individual ready bottles for on the go:+)

Well, I never tried they formula, lol



No, you shouldn't change formulas back and foward BUT if you ran out of formula at 3 am in the morning and you have another one, is better to feed them THAT than having 2 screaming babies.



Which ones do you have?

do formulas have different tastes or anything really different that could ake them not want to drink it.some people say not to switch them back and forth from one to another cause it can confuse them.so just want to make double sure cause they are doing so well right now
