I just have started giving my dd Neocate. I have tried Nutramigen and Allimentum before. While cleaning the emptied bottle after use, I find the bottle and nipple to be too greasy. I have to use too hot water with lots of soap to clean the bottle now (It was not the same with Alimentum/Nutramigen). Is this common?
I was wondering how greasy my baby’s stomach must be now..
The greasy film inside the bottles is normal with Neocate. It makes the bottles a little tougher to clean, but its a small price to pay for a happy tummy!
Yes, I hate that film it leaves on the bottles. After I’m done with the feeding, I rinse out the bottle with cold water first and that helps to take some of the grease off.
Yes it is completely normal. The bottles need to be washed in bicarbonate of soda and water (1 teaspoon to 1 litre of of water). Then rinse and re-wash in detergent and water.
