On the hunt for a formula that my baby won’t turn her nose up at - tried aptamil pepti 1 and SMA but she doesn’t like either! Any recommendations?

Both my children have had neocate syneo now and both have taken it fine - I do think it depends on age though maybe if she is older her taste buds are more developed xx

You could add alcohol free vanilla essence to it and the gradually reduce it down. Unfortunately they're all vile

We use sma alfamino and she's done fine on it xx

They are all pretty vile I think, I would probably try alcohol free vanilla essence in it, I suppose it also may be how her symptoms are too, SMA has hydrolysed cows milk protein in so it’s easier to digest for them, if her symptoms still persist or get worse after the initial amount you may need to try an amino acid based one which would be neocate or SMA alfamino xxxx

do you know the exact name of the formula? Can’t seem to find it online!

they do a goats milk formula, or an organic formula, they dont do soya, but if your baby has been showing signs of CMPA or diagnosed, goats milk protein is pretty similar to cows milk so can still show the same reaction :( it can also be soy that causes issues too xx

Following - weve just been prescribed nutramigen and it smells like bird food- she obviously spat it out instantly. Tried adding a bit in her breast milk to get accustomed to the taste, just ended up having to throw out the milk.

you could potentially ask your GP or dietician if you can add some alcohol free vanilla drops to it, then slowly reduce the amount she has till she’s on just nutramigen!
I must admit it does STINK that one! We were changed due to my baby just not taking it xxx

what worked for ur baby?

we ended up on SMA Althera and have been on that ever since x
