I’m anxious to get my LO on an elemental formula and am wondering if I need to wean him onto it or if I can just switch him cold turkey. Will it cause him additional GI distress to go cold turkey to an elemental formula? And also, will he notice or care about the taste change (he’s only 7wks). Does EleCare smell much worse than Nutramigen?

Thanks!

They both smell bad, but honestly, I don’t see how it could hurt to switch him cold turkey to that- Obviously, I am not a dr. though. If you’re really worried, you could always do a gradual transition and start off mixing the two.

I would do a gradual.. not because i think the protiens in the elemental will upset him.. but it is just a different set of fats/carbs/protiens.. and it might be too much of a change for all at once. i am not sure .. but that is just what i think. i wouldnt wait it out too long.. maybe like 2 ounces every feed the first day.. then 3 for the next couple days.. then all of it?

and no.. i dont think he should notice the change at that age.
