Enfamil gave him a very upset stomach and Similac caused tons of spitup no matter what variation of them we tried. The Gerber is kind of a pain to stir enough to get all the lumps out, but it's SO worth it with how much the comfort proteins and probiotics help him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combo-feeding-which-formula-do-you-use#post-1058540 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 08:18:50 +0000 CarrieLouWho 1058540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: thank you!!!

On prescription, we get 16 cans for less than $20. But I don't think it'll be covered now that LO has turned 1. It's ridiculously expensive to buy it on our own (~$90 a can)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combo-feeding-which-formula-do-you-use#post-1057039 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 06:28:42 +0000 lavender 1057039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Similac Advance </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combo-feeding-which-formula-do-you-use#post-1057016 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 05:19:00 +0000 Penny Lane 1057016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used heinz nurture gold plus at home, and similac advance premade when we were in the states... it was all he would drink after we ran out of what we bought from home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combo-feeding-which-formula-do-you-use#post-1057006 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 04:57:05 +0000 mrs.cookie 1057006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sugarplumsmom, @mrsf: we are in the same boat, both my kids are MSPI. DS was on Neocate, DD has been slowly weaning onto Elecare the last month (since hitting 12 months). DD wouldn't touch Neocate but loves Elecare, go figure! </p> <p>We are really lucky as in Australia the elemental/hypoallergenic formulas are only available on prescription, so it costs is $35 for 8 tins... So cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combo-feeding-which-formula-do-you-use#post-1056999 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 04:30:11 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1056999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neocate, she has a milk protein intolerance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/combo-feeding-which-formula-do-you-use#post-1056994 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 03:59:21 +0000 Cherrybee 1056994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Totally!
