Changing from goat to cow formula?

Hey, my baby has been drinking kendamil goat formula for the past 6 months but is about to go into follow on milk. I regretted putting him on the goat milk as they don’t do ready made bottles so it’s very tricky to go out for the day. Has anyone changed from goat to cow formula? I thought since he will be having a new milk anyway it might be they best time to change but I don’t want to upset his stomach :( any advice would be great xx

You don't need to do follow on milk for any milk anyways its just a marketing scam so don't feel like u have to the formulas are barely any different it's just to trick parents into paying more money for longer stage 1 milk in all formulas is suitanle until 1 years old and after that regular cowes milk is fine. However if u do want to change on to Cowes milk formula instead then ur fine to do so. They might have a bit of a tummy ache and potentially constipation or looser stools for a week or 2 just as their tummy gets use to it but it's 100% doable. Introduce it slowly to help ease the change for them so do one bottle one day and then slowly increase the amount of bottles of new formula until you've replaced all bottles. I will add a chart which will explain it better xx

Willow is correct, I'd follow that weaning guide if you want to change his milk anyway but follow on milk is a marketing thing. There's nothing in the formula that changes between stage 1 and stage 2. My cousin got told this by her midwife and HV!

You don't need to change to the follow on milk! Also get yourself a nuby rapid cool for days out there a life saver so you don't need ready made! I changed from Kendamil to Cow&Gate so it's possible - follow that chart x

thanks everyone, I appreciate it! I read that follow on milk was much thicker. I was looking to get new Mam teets and it says the 6+ month is for a thicker formula. Prob marketing too? 🙈

Unless ur baby needs to go up a teat size save ur money. If u just watch to switch to Cowes milk formula go for it but keep on same teet if ur baby is satisfied with it x
