LOL he is not really a baby any more but my boy is on a prescription formula drink, it's high calorie and comes in three flavours too!

Well I know of 10 roughly off the top of my head ...

I also think there are quite a number who were once on but have since come off !

G like naiwen's little guy isnt a baby but he is on the Neocate Advance which is for older kids ...

ds 2 is on prescribed - elecare

[gizmoduckus]

DS2 is on Neocate

[MissMetal]

OK so i saw ANOTHER different Dr today, he was lots nicer, he actually checked DS out to rule out other things... cant believe that other Dr didnt even look at DS :geek:
He prescribed DS Neocate LCP whatever that is :confused:
I gave it to DS this arvo & he sculled the whole thing hahaha pretty quickly :laughing: so maybe its going to work??
This guy wrote me a referral aswell to see a Paed, so hopefully that will be soon & we can work all this cr@p out :fingerscrossed:

DD only has formula occasionally, maybe once or twice a week, but she is on Neocate too. No problems with it at all.

Hrrrrm wonder how he was able to prescribe it ... It usually requires a Paed or GI to do so ...

Anywhos Neocate LCP is what G was on from 6mths through till 18mths & its like the basic Neocate but has Long Chain Protiens which are good for growing bubs :thumbsup:

[MissMetal]

why does DS not take neocate??? its taking an hour just to get 20-30mls down :(

DS 2 is on prescribed S26 Lactose free. DS1 also had this problem (lactose intolerant) until he was about 1.

Apparently a lot of babies don't like the taste of it. I never had that problem with DS2 but I am sure some of the other ladies will probably have some tips to help.

Chin up, you will get there. :hugs:
