If you run out of formula and can't find any, in a pinch you can give oral rehydration solution (such as Pedialyte, Enfalyte, or a store brand) for a couple of days. Babies older than 4 to 6 months can also get pureed (finely ground) foods.

Organic Infant Formula, Stage 2 Modeled after breast milk, our Stage 2 formula is tailored to evolving nutrition needs for babies 612 months old, with no corn syrup solids, higher levels of key vitamins and minerals, and milk from cows raised on organic farms.

From 6 months, you can choose stage 2 or follow-on formula, but you don't need to change to stage 2. These formulas aren't better for your baby than starter or stage 1 formulas.

A healthy baby should drink breast milk or formula until they are 1 year old. Formulas are fortified with vitamins and iron, which they need, says pediatrician Radhai Prabhakaran, MD. Generally, babies should have at least 24 ounces per day between the ages of 9 months to 1 year.

Stage 2 formulas are intended for older babies, from six months onwards, and are also known as follow-on formulas. Although they are very similar to Stage 1 formulas, they have slightly more protein and different amounts of certain nutrients, in order to supply babies with the proper nutrition they need at this age.

You can start by offering your baby 1 to 2 ounces of infant formula every 2 to 3 hours in the first days of life if your baby is only getting infant formula and no breast milk. Give your baby more if he or she is showing signs of hunger. Most infant formula-fed newborns will feed 8 to 12 times in 24 hours.
