We never had a problem with our 3 kids. It is all going to depend on the child and what they can tolerate.

It could cause more spitting up, and gas which will make your life miserable. It is ok to try them one a time until you find the best one for you and your baby. Donate any your don't use to a food drive. Also, my Dr said the Parents Choice brand at Walmart was just as healthy as the name brands, and it is half the price. My son actually liked it best.
Good luck!!

With both my girls, I didn't switch formula brands until they were eating baby food. My pediatrician said that I could change it at any time but that I should just watch out for signs of discomfort with them but, I didn't feel comfortable doing that until they were digesting something other then just formula. Try to stick to a similar formulation. Like don't go from regular to soy or visa versa.

It is not a good idea too switch a baby's formula because the baby could have a bad reaction....

It might if one has iron and the other doesnt. Iron tends to upset babies tummies more than formula's with no iron.

It might upset the tummy, I would ask the doctor before using it.

It is fine to try it but watch for signs of stomach discomfort..(crying, tensing up, more spitting up than normal).. I've used samples with both of my kids and they did just fine.

Actually, if you can, switch to breast feeding ASAP. There's an excellent article in the current Science News on the value of breast milk. It may even fight cancer. I kid you not.

maker sure to find one brand and stick to it because it is not good for the baby if you keep changing

I agree with Joseph. It really all depends on your child. My kids didn't have any problems.
