my dd won’t drink neocate she used to drink nutrmagin I would radther have her drink this formula than battle with neocate its too much even though she has a milk allergy would it really be bad if i gave her nutramagin??????? her meds are ok dose how does everybody else get thier dear babies to drink this awful formula wish i never was given this formula thats how we both feel

How do you know she has a milk allergy? was she tested.. or was it by symptoms?

How is she on the nutramigen? If she is exhibiting signs of intolerance/allergy i would def. keep pushing the neocate… if she is happy on it.. then I dont think i would change it.

I didnt have to do the neocate…but we did try it. They said I could flavor it with vanilla syrup that had no alcohol in it. Or There is packets on neocates website that flavor the formula.

Or you can just VERY SLOWLY start to replace the nutramigen with the neocate… ( half ounce every couple days) .

Thanks for the reply she had blood in her stool so the GI doctor said it was a milk allergy ??? She wasn’t on the nutramagin less than 2 weeks but then on neocate no blood in her stools but its so hard to feed her now since the start of the neocate

If there was blood in the stools from nutramigen…I would definitely keep pushing the neocate. I know it’s hard b/c most babies refuse the taste of it, but it is better for her digestive health in the long run. I think there might be flavorings you can add to make it taste better??? Hopefully someone else will have more information on that. My guess is that the longer she is on the neocate and the better she starts to feel, she’ll drink it willingly. I hope anyway! GOod luck!

Neocate sells flavor packets specifically for their formula.

I had the same issue with my ds but we ended up mixing Myenburg Goats milk powder with the neocate which I would not recommend without discussing with your doc b/c goat milk has milk protein in it that can also not go well with MSPI kids. We did not know about the packets or I would have tried them, but another mom on here recently posted about them. They are $15/case and I don’t know how many come in a case, but remembering back to our situation, I think $15 is worth a try!!

Hang in there!!

The Neocate is hard to take. We switched our baby to Elecare, which is an amnio acid formula like Neocate, but much better.. It even smells better. It also comes in Vanilla for older children. We were given the Vanilla b/c the doc didn’t have the plain infant version. You do have to make it differently. We called the company and they said to make it like the infant formula. 1 scoop to 2oz of water. Even w/o using the vanilla, our little girl liked it better. good luck.
