They also sell it online &amp; you can send it directly to wherever you'll be in 9 days. In my experience, I talked to a rep who told me none of my Micgigan store held it but she sent me a free sample tin! So chat with an online rep;)<br /> Either way: nutramigen &amp; alimentum worked just as well for us so I never had that need to find anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutricia-neocate-or-nestle-althera#post-516973 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 07:27:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 516973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><u>Update</u>: I've read that Neocate is only available through prescription, but Walgreen's pharmacy sometimes carries it and will sell it w/o.</p> <p>I'm gonna try to call the Walgreens near my mom's place and see. Thanks so much ... <b>but I'd still love to hear from any mom's that have any experience with these formulas</b> :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutricia-neocate-or-nestle-althera#post-516969 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 07:21:57 +0000 SugarplumsMom 516969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I just looked up Goodstart Gentle, it looks good, but probably not sensitive enough for a milk protein allergy (which we think she has). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutricia-neocate-or-nestle-althera#post-516965 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 07:14:21 +0000 tequiero21 516965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me neither... Wonder if u can just try gerber goodstart. I think it used to be nestle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutricia-neocate-or-nestle-althera#post-516964 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 07:13:57 +0000 SugarplumsMom 516964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: In 9 days! I'm thinking the best way is to order it here (where we have a Rx) and stuff our bags with it. $40 a can is ridiculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutricia-neocate-or-nestle-althera#post-516963 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 07:13:13 +0000 sorrycharlie 516963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had actually never heard of either before seeing this, so my guess is that they aren't in typical target/babies r us stores but ill keep my eye out! When do you leave? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutricia-neocate-or-nestle-althera#post-516955 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 06:37:53 +0000 SugarplumsMom 516955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P.S. I'm wondering if they sell it somewhere that I can't find online since I can't physically go into the stores myself until we arrive.</p> <p>Hoping someone had experience with these formulas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutricia-neocate-or-nestle-althera#post-516949 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 05:58:14 +0000 SugarplumsMom 516949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone tried/perscribed either <b>Neocate</b> or <b>Althéra</b>? Where did you buy it? I found Neocate on Amazon and the cheapest I found it was $40.50 a can (shipping isn't free)! I can't find Nestle Althera at all.</p> <p>DD's on Enfamil Nutramigen right now and it's not working so great. We were given 2 cans of Neocate and prescribed Althera. But we're leaving for the States soon and I need to figure out if we have to stuff our luggage with the stuff or if I can buy it there.</p> <p>Thanks so much!</p> <p>[attach=1448/13/mgz2pv.269x370.neocate_carousel.png][attach=1448/13/mgz2px.240x240.Alth--ra.jpg] </p>
