How Soon Can A Second Feed Of Infant Formula Be Given?
Question: hello .. ask if can feed again , my son just fed similac for supplementation infant formula with iron, so can feed new bottle?
Brief Answer:
Yes you can
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
There is no problem with feeding new bottle after similac with iron formula
You can do it.
My suggestion to you is to always give breast feed first before giving formula.
This will ensure you have a constant supply of breast milk.
One more tip:
When baby starts showing signs like spitting or unintersted in taking the bottle, stop feeding further. This will prevent overfeeding.
Wishing your baby good health.
