Hi guys
I am wondering when to make the switch to progress formula - the tin says from 6 months, but I seem to remember reading something that said it can be difficult to digest. What has everyone else done? H has had issues with constipation so I don't want that to happen again but also want to make sure he is getting all the right nutrients etc. Thanks ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I'll keep an eye on this thread - good question!
With my older two girls we just switched them at 6 months and had no problems! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| We just switched between 6 and 7 months with the same brand, just the next step up. |

Hmmm, according to Gina Ford you shouldn't switch them until they drink 240ml of stage 1 formula at every feed. It kind of makes sense... did your babies follow this pattern prior to switching? ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

| Daniel has never had a 240ml bottle ever except if hes sick and eating no solids whatsoever. |

My son has never had 250mls of formula ever, either! That seems like a lot. Although he does drink 250mls of cows milk now before bed but thats it.
I transitioned to stage 2 formula by alternating between the 2 - 1 feed stage one, next feed stage 2 extra and did that until both tins were finished and then just did stage 2 after that. -------------

| Tessa had 220ml at each feed before we changed over ands still has the same amount. |
