It’s so easy for the docs to tell you to switch cold turkey. They think babies cannot tell the difference in taste between formulas. They are wrong! There is a user on here (Erica). Her son Owen developed an aversion from switching ‘cold turkey’ from one formula to Neocate “cold turkey” per her doctors orders and after that he would not go back and he was NG tube fed until he finally started sucking from a bottle again. She can tell you more about this, hopefully she’ll see this post, or maybe you can PM her.
I would transition slowly. The milk proteins need to get out of her system, but it is not doing any extra harm by doing the slow transition. It’s better than a feeding aversion. I am not trying to scare you, I just don’t want to see this happen to you.
Also, your baby could still have reflux. I would not take meds away yet. Don’t rock the boat too much. If it were me, I would transition the formula first, keep her on meds, then maybe experiment with a med wean if you think she can handle it and is comfortable enough once fully on Neocate for a month & no problems.
Hang in there! I’ve SO been through this SAME experience!! It’s gonna get better. Neocate was a lifesaver for us.
