My first two stayed on Stage 1 until 12 months, no issues. This baby is doing great too, so why change if it's working?

Hui Yi T.. · First-time mom · Baby at 8 months

My baby seemed hungrier around 7 months, even with solids. Switched to Stage 2 gradually and she's much more settled now.

Expert guidance

Formula provides key nutrients while solids are being established. HPB advises using infant formula throughout the first year, after which toddlers can transition to stage 3 formula or full-cream cow's milk. What matters most is that stage 1 formula remains nutritionally adequate until 12 months, so switching earlier is generally not necessary unless advised otherwise.
