thanks for that Curly...I thought they needed the Step 2 because of their need for more iron at around 6 months? That might explain why she is only having half of every bottle though, except for her early morning feed at around 3am she finished almost all of that one.
Yes they do need more iron but that's why you start solids at 6 months of age, because milk is not enough sustenance for them anymore (regardless of whether it is breastmilk or formula)...and if you check the back of the tin you will see hardly any difference between Step 1 and Step 2.
My DS's digestive system couldn't tolerate Step 2 till he was nearly 9 months and I never bothered at all with DD. I only put him on Step 2 in the vain hope he would start sleeping through the night...never had this issue with DD. I did a bit of research on this and my best friend used to work for Nestle so I had the inside word on formula composition!
Go with your instincts... if you think it's the Step2 formula, try changing back for a bit...surely it won't hurt to try it & see?
I know it was a while back (ok, almost 15 years ago) but I fed my DD1 & DS1 on S26 and there was no step2 (that i knew of, anyway) - they just had the same thing right through to 12 months.
So I am thinking it couldn't possibly hurt to change back for a couple of weeks at least, just to see?
