Why shouldn't I switch formulas?

posted 11th Nov '08
I went to the doctor today to just get a flu shot for my lil girl and I have recently switched from BF to formula and so I have been using the free samples I got in the mail before she was born. Sooooooo they vary from Enfamil to Similac and I was also wondering about the quality of Publix store brand and I heard Target store brand was equal to Enfamil or Similac and I just wanted to verify. The nurse giving the shot said I should just pick one and stick with it and not to switch them. I felt stupid asking why for some reason and now I regret not asking....does anyone know why I shouldn't switch? She has been fine with the tastes of all of them. I use Similac, Publix brand and thawed breast milk I had stored every day. I still have Enfamil in the cabinet and I am not going to waste any, cause its too expensive. I usually use the Publix brand for her cereal, but I also give her the remaining in a bottle after all cereal had been mixed. I thought maybe because of allergies, but I have introduced each one for a few days first and never at the same time as something else new (since she is eating solids now).

Because each formula varies slightly in its ingrediants it can sometimes cause stomaches, excessive gas, constipation or diahria.
