Isabella was on Pregastimil but it just made her sick all the time, she sort of gagged with it everytime she had a bottle.

She has now been prescribed Neocate, have you used it for your LO??
 
Yep sorry and he hated it, point blank refused to take it and went on hunger strike. Have to say after I tasted it couldn't really blame him, it was truly foul but they do say that after 3 days they should adjust but personally I feel milk like any meal should be enjoyed. Really depends on the reasons for giving it whether its worth sticking at it.
Mind me asking why she is on it?
 
Oh no, was not hoping to hear that.

She is on it for Ezema, when she was on Pregastimil her skin cleared up 95% it was amazing but she couldnt seem to keep it down, she sort of gagged all the time. My bedroom carpet is covered in it where she would take a bottle even 1oz and then projectile it straight back up again.
 
See the thing is, she gags with all the bottles in the day but it is when she has her bedtime bottle that it comes straight back up ??????
 
He wasn't feeding properly so they thought he might be dairy intolerant as he was refusing feeds, screaming at every feed and pulling away from the bottle, also posseting far more than was usual. Turns out it was reflux all along bless him.
Don't take my word for it though hun, you may find neocate fine, they say most babies adjust after 3 days, you know what men are like, mines no different, big wuss bless him.
 
:D :D Thanks Hun

How is your little man now?? What have you had to do to help him??
 
Thanks for asking hun. :hug: He has gaviscon infant in every feed, his cot is elevated at the head end and we keep him upright for 30 mins after most feeds except at night. He's also having 2 solid feeds aday as he seems better after these but he's still not a totally happy bunny, am thinking of changing his feed to Cow & Gate staydown from SMA Gold. Its all about trial and error.
Really hope you find the neocate works. On a positive note at 7 months your LO can have a good variety of solids in her diet so it should be a bit easier with the neocate as she's not relying on that for all her needs.
