When switching infant formula, it is recommended to initially mix the old and new formulas for feeding, then gradually transition to the new formula exclusively. The best time to switch formulas is during spring or autumn, as the moderate temperatures during these seasons reduce the likelihood of adverse reactions. If the baby develops vomiting or diarrhea after the formula change, probiotics may be administered to help regulate the intestinal microbiota and alleviate symptoms.
