Maybe you can do half/half for a day and then switch over?</p> <p>Our gastro doctor recommended Neocate from the start, but my LO wouldn't ever take it (I still pump and do the elimination diet).</p> <p>Recently, I've been able to give her 1 oz of neocate to 4 oz breastmilk and she'll drink it. I'm hoping to slowly move up to more Neocate because she's 10 months now and I am absolutely going to stop pumping at a year--so I need a milk substititute backup if she's not into almond milk at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-on-elemental-formula#post-1635106 Thu, 15 May 2014 06:58:45 +0000 Ash 1635106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was there one that worked better than the other? Lo was put on elemental formula almost 2 weeks ago and we first tried elecare which he wouldn't take. So we tried puramino and he took it great... But now we're experiencing crazy reflux. </p> <p>Is it okay to just cut the puramino cold turkey and try neocate?</p> <p>*I was reading neocate is the only elemental without soy oil - thinking this might be playing a factor?*</p> <p>He also is up EVERY 2 hours eating now. Ahhhh! :crying: </p>
