Quick advice on starting Fox Valley

[blessedbeingmom]

Our FV 20/50 arrived today. I want to make sure I have this right. I need to mix up 1 part powder to 2 parts water. Shake well. Store in fridge for up to 24 hours.
Miss Suzy has been getting goat's milk (3 parts goats milk to 1 part yobaby yogurt).
I should start her off easy, right? We've had her for a week now & she's been on Esbilac & pedialyte in the past week (earlier).
My father-in-law died today, so I guess my brain just needs a little help in simplifying this but yet in doing what is best for Miss Suzy.
Thank you!

FV is great!

So, yes, dilute FV according to instructions and make regular Goat's Milk formula.
Then, take 75% of Goat's Milk and 25% of FV for the first few feedings
Then, take 50% of GM and 50% of FV for the next few feedings
Then, take 25% of GM and 75% of FV for the last few transitioning feedings
Then, try 100% FV.

And again, you can always call Mrs Skul if you need urgent answers late at night, or just urgent answers and it's when the board is quiet ;)

Honestly I would still reccomend the 32/40 My boys are 11 & 12 weeks old and still add it to their yogurt and baby food!

Yes...slowly adjust...the best way to do this would be to make the formula you have been giving her like normal, make less of fox valley 2 parts fv 1 pt water and a small dolup of yo baby yogurt!

Day 1- 3 parts original formula : 1 part FV
Day 2- 1/2 and 1/2
Day 3-4- 3 pts FV: 1 pt original
Day 5- start full FV mixed with the yogurt just a small dolup!

some people do the switch differently, just remeber when you start the full FV you dont have to feed as often cause it stays in their system a bit longer.
