I am fed up with the Esbilac and just got my Fox Valley in the mail today. Do I need to gradually switch her over or should I take the leap and just give it to her? Thanks so much!!! BTW, Fox Valley smells great :-):jump

Yes, you should gradually switch them over.
Mix up the Esbilac and the FV both per their instructions in separate containers.
Then feed 75% Esbilac & 25% FV for a day.
The next day feed 50% Esbilac and 50% FV.
The third day feed 25% Esbilac and 75% FV.
The fourth day feed 100% FV.

If our experts disagree, follow their advice.

Are your babies having any problems with the Esbilac? Runny poops?

Gradually, giving time for adjustment with each change. I usually go 3 feedings on each change, to see how their tummies handle it, watching for any issues. I just went through this. How old is this baby?
