Neocate

[Anonymous]

Hi,

We just started Neocate a few days ago, but my 6 month baby girl does not like the taste. Is there anything we can do to improve it?

regards,

We never used it, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen other moms post about flavor packets you can get. Maybe check to see if they have a website?

Are you switching from a different formula? If so, you can start by just mixing the Neocate with some of the old formula and gradually increase the Neocate to old formula mixture until she is drinking it straight.

I’ve also read that some moms have used baby food bananas or baby food pears to flavor it.

Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in.

With your baby being a little older, you may have some more options for flavoring. You could probably use some baby banana food with minimal problems. Someone on the boards said that they give NICU babies bananas in their Neocate. Don’t be alarmed if the formula turns gray after you add the bananas, it’s totally normal. We used an all natural flavoring from http://www.frontiercoop.com. They have lots of natural flavors like vanilla, banana, berry, etc. Just a drop per ounce or two was all we needed. We actually didn’t even use it for that long, b/c she got used to the Neocate quickly and I think most babies do. There is nothing aromatic about anything that has to do with Neocate. It smells bad, tastes bad and makes poops smell GROSS but you will get used to all of it!!!
