Pregestimil

Is your baby on it?????

 

[Jaidy]

Sorry if this sounds ignorant but what is it?

 

[Eveadel]

Thats ok, it is a prescription milk (dairy & soy free).

My youngest was on it for 2 years, smells vile, don't leave a half drunk bottle in your car!! Charlotte failed to thrive on cows and soya so they prescribed it and she was able to tolerate it. Started weaning her off it at 2 1/2 and she is ok now, a bit petite, she has enamel problems on one of her teeth but I'm not sure if its related. She also doesnt really like dairy produce now such as cheese and wont drink milk. Want to know anything else, please feel free to ask!

Thanks, hope that didnt sound rude just good to know what these things are!

Is your LO dairy and soy intolerant then Eveadel?

 

[Eveadel]

Well we think she is intolerant so we are on this milk for 1 month and then will reaccess.

Ellie G, how did you give Charlotte other forms of dairy if she was intolerant to it. Im worrying she is going to become deficient???

 

[EllieG]

We were told what it is nutritionally complete and once they sart weaning to use other sourrces of calsium such as broccoli etc. Yuo can but infant vitamins if you are worried such as abidec. They grow up suprisingly tough! The hardes thing was getting her to drink it!!!

 

[Eveadel]

Ah thanks, I feel more reassured now. Isabella was due to go up to progress milk for extra iron Im going to look into how much Pregestimil is compared to C & G Progress.

No problem. You can ask to be referred to the dietician, they are very helpfull and will give you lots of alternative ideas.
