If on can would the group recommend skipping transition time? Just go directly to the full 2050 maybe?
I chose to completely drop esbalic instead of transition but I don’t think I’d necessarily recommend doing so to others just because it was my choice from previous experiences of how I expected the baby to gain and it’s never usually recommended to not gently transition in terms of feeding any baby…
Compromised babies are fragile, so if anything, one would go slower transitioning. However, if the baby is on a formula that is bad or causing trouble, use water and new formula to make the transition . Last thing you want to do with a compromised baby is give it diarrhea!
