Formula
This is probably a stupid question but I’m a ftm so please bare with me 😂
My LO has just turned 4 months so we’ve started thinking about weaning (not doing it yet just organising what we need and how we’re doing it so we’re ready) but do we need to switch to follow on formula once she’s 6 months or can I stick to what I’m using now?

The health visitor told us to stay on first till they’re one, it’s all so confusing but as it has all of the nutrients they need! message me if you need any help!
thank you so much 🩷 I remember my health visitor saying something about follow on milk wasnt really needed but couldn’t remember if she was talking about 6+ months or 12+ months 😂
Yeah they say just use that one till 12 months! It’s silly that they make second really however if you want to use it at one I would till you can get them fully off, but to be fair weening is as and when your baby is ready some will be ready now and some a bit later than 6 months honestly just follow your heart with that one! like I say if you want to pop me a message go for it! It’s hard remembering everything so don’t worry if you do need to ask! and don’t think your alone! I make my partner stay for every single one as I would be asking the same questions 50 times over
First infant up to 12 months then normal cows milk after that is what my HV told me. She said the only reason follow on milk is made is so the companies can advertise as they are not allowed to advertise infant milk
