Starting Combination Feeding
Once breast-feeding is firmly established, your baby is latching on nicely and your milk supply is plentiful, you can consider combination feeding. This is usually anytime after 4 to 6 weeks (if you are moving onto infant formula only, you can do this at anytime).
By dropping just one breast-feed a week you’ll be able to give your body enough time to adjust. Your breasts need to learn to produce less milk. Otherwise your breasts may leak or become engorged, which is painful (expressing milk is a good way to relieve the pressure).

Switching to Capricare from Other Infant Formulas
We recommend a gradual introduction over 3–7 days. This gives your baby's digestive system time to adjust and helps them warm up to the new taste.
Here's a simple approach to follow:
- Start by swapping one scoop. When preparing a bottle, replace one scoop of your current formula with one scoop of Capricare, using the rest of your usual formula as normal.
- Increase gradually every 1–2 days. Replace an additional scoop with Capricare every couple of days.
- Complete the transition. Continue until all scoops in each bottle are Capricare.
