Have questions? Well, we have the answers.
01. What is the difference between Roo’s First Months and Roo Starts to Hop Formulas?
+
Roo’s First Months (Bellamy’s Organic Infant Formula Step 1) is formulated to provide complete nutrition for babies from birth. The Step 1 formulation contains a higher portion of whey protein than casein protein, as this is similar to breast milk. If your baby is not drinking breast milk, the only other safe choice is infant formula as the main drink for the first 12 months of life.
Roo Starts to Hop (Bellamy’s Organic Follow-on Formula Step 2) is suitable from 6 months of age and is specially formulated to complement solids. Another important change: at 6 months, the natural iron stores your baby was born with start to deplete. Therefore, the Step 2 Formula contains more iron than the Step 1 Formula.
02. My baby is almost 6 monthsold. Can I start on Roo Starts to Hop (Bellamy’s Organic Follow-On Formula Step 2)?
+
We recommend you continue feeding your baby Bellamy’s Organic Infant Formula Step 1 until your baby turns 6 months of age. If you have remaining Step 1 formula, when you baby is over the age of 6 months, this can be continued until it is finished so it is not wasted.
03. How many feeds does my baby need per day of Roo’s First Months (Bellamy’s Organic Step 1 Infant Formula)?
+
Each baby is different, and needs vary from day to day. We recommend feeding your baby on demand. Please see feeding instructions here.
04. How many feeds per day does my child need of Roo Starts to Hop (Bellamy’s Organic Follow-on Formula Step 2)?
+
Each baby is different, and needs vary from day to day. We recommend feeding your baby on demand. Please see feeding instructions here.
05. My baby’s usual formula has been impacted by the shortage and I do not have any remaining formula. How do I start Bellamy’s Organic Formula?
+
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has assessed Bellamy’s Organic Formula as safe and nutritious for US infants.
If possible, we recommend slowly introducing small amounts of Bellamy’s Organic Formula following the guide below and slowly increasing the amount of the new formula over time. However we understand this is not possible in many circumstances.
If you do not have any remaining supply of your usual formula, it’s okay to transition right away! Most babies do just fine and transition across easily.
Be patient though, since it may take some time for your baby to get used to it.
SEVEN-DAY TRANSITION PLAN
Day One
For your baby’s first morning feed, offer one bottle or feeding cup of the new formula. For the remaining feeds of the day, offer the previous formula.
Day Two
Offer the new formula for the first two feeds of the day, then the previous formula for the remaining feeds.
Day Three
Offer the new formula for the first three feeds of the day, then the previous formula for the remaining feeds
Days Four to Seven
Continue this method until your baby has fully transitioned across to the new formula, which may take around seven days.
