I am pretty sure that Scout has a milk protein issue – she has done the best on the Alimentum Ready to Feed – but still has real gas/bm issues. So 2 nights ago we started her on a trial of Neocate – but she hates it and won’t really eat it. I think yesterday she maybe drank 10 ounces and she just kept spitting out the bottle.

Any ideas?

try transitioning to the neocate sloooowly- like one ounce of neocate and the rest alimentum- do that for a day, or as long as you think to, then add another ounce of neocate and on and on until the bottle is completely neocate

I know of another mom who used to be on here that used splenda to alter the flavor to get her son to take the neocate better. But I do agree that you need to do a gradual change.

My 8 week old is on Neocate and eats soooo slowly. We think it’s the flavor, too. Another mom on here mentioned using agave nectar (at health food stores). It has no gluten, a low glycemic index, is safe for babies and pretty affordable. I use 1 tsp. for every 3-4 oz. She seems to be eating a little better. My GI doc also said I could put 1-2 drops Hershey’s syrup in (it has no milk products) to try and alter the taste. He wasn’t surprised by her slow eating and described Neocate as tasting like “swill”. He said it could take weeks for her to finally give up and eat really well. Sigh.
