Is one of these typically better tolerated thant he other? I have my 5 week old on Nutramigen, but he’s still refluxing, having trouble eating and has recently had some mucous in his stool. Should I try Alimentum before jumpnig to Neocate?

I’ve heard varying reports from people on this board, but Alimentum & Nutramigen are basically the same thing. Next step is usually Neocate. Some people have better luck with the ready to feed versions, are you using powder, concentrate, or rtf? I think the RTF does not have corn in it, which some little ones on this board have had problems with. You could try the RTF before making the jump to Neocate. Good luck!

My son did much better on Alimentum, ready to feed. It was a little thicker than the ready to feed Nutramigen and therefore easier for him to drink without much sputtering, choking.

FYI: I love Dr. Brown bottles. They really helped with the sputtering and choking as well!
