Customer Reviews

Worked for us!
Just wanted to say that my son was premature and had severe reflux and allergies to the milk protein. This formula was better than any other, even the Neocate. Just a side note, the liquid formula IS different than the powder. The liquid formula doesn't contain corn solids and the powder does. I had my son on the powder and he would arch and pull away after two ounces (his twin sister could take about 5-6 ounces at this point and his weight was much less than hers). I switched to the liquid and he sucked it down like he hadn't eaten in months. It's very expensive but totally worth it in our circumstance! The only reason it doesn't get five stars is b/c, yes, it has a horrible smell... but he likes it so I don't really care what it smells like!

INSURANCE WILL PAY for hypoallergenic formula!!
Hypoallergenic formula was necessary for our daughter's acid reflux.

We found out from a friend that most insurance companies will completely cover the cost of hypoallergenic formula, either by reimbursing you what you've spent on it, or if you get it as a prescription through your pediatrician. Ours did!

Many doctors don't know this, so they don't know to give a prescription for the formula. Call your insurance company today!

grudging acceptance
As others have noted, this stuff does seriously reek, even more than the other formulas made from dying cattle. It does, however, stay down better than the powdered products, even the powdered Alimentum, perhaps because it's thicker. If circumstances leave you no alternative but to supplement your baby with formula, the ready-to-feed products are handier and perhaps better-tolerated until you can get your baby onto fruits, vegetables, and grains. If your baby tolerates the RTF soy formula, that's an obvious better choice than this stuff.
