What about their formula?
For a variety of reasons, many moms feed their growing babies formula. If you’re one of those moms, here’s why you may consider switching to a next stage formula like Enfamil A+® 2.
What are the benefits of Enfamil A+ 2?
Enfamil A+ 2 has more calcium and protein than Enfamil A+, and age-appropriate levels of iron to support your growing baby. And, like Enfamil A+®, it contains DHA; a type of Omega-3 fat and a brain-building nutrient.
It also contains galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and polydextrose, two dietary fibres.
How do I switch from Enfamil A+ to Enfamil A+ 2?
Switching your baby to Enfamil A+ 2 is easier than you might think. You can switch over to Enfamil A+ 2 right away. Make sure you give your baby enough time to adjust to Enfamil A+ 2, usually 3 to 5 days. Some babies will adjust right away. Others may have slight changes in stool pattern, gas, and/or spitting up until they become accustomed to the new formula. If you have questions or concerns, check with your baby’s doctor.
How much formula does a baby need?
Your baby’s appetite is always the best guide, but here are some averages for feeding your baby formula.
