CMPA - Neocate

My daughter has a suspected cows milk protein allergy. They have suggested putting her on Neocate formula - does anyone know of any negatives with this brand?

no negatives. my now 2 year old was on this from birth until he turned a year old

he also has CMPA

Neocate stopped my daughters reflux and bottle refusal however she went from having diarrhoea all her life to severe constipation. We have just been moved onto SMA Alfamino which is very similar to Neocate but we are still having the same problem. Every baby is completely different so you just have to keep trying until you find the right one it seems

I hated Neocate, my baby was always sick on it!

Thanks all - how long did they ask you to try Neocate before moving onto SMA?

I’ve now seen some research suggesting it causes bone issues so don’t know what to do!

They always say try for a minimum of two weeks. We were on it for a few months though because at first I was happy with the benefits. I’ve not heard that before about the bone thing - I would check if the source is reliable

Would it bother you? Hubby never finishes.

So my husband doesn't finish. Not for birth control but he just doesn't finish, he says he can go a really long time before actually finishing. He can finish as we have a child together.

It's never bothered me enough to cause serious problems in our relationship. Sometimes I wonder if I'm good enough in bed? He says he just gets tired. I've only ever been with two guys, my ex and hubby and my ex never had an issue with it. Hubby says he likes it and we have a healthy sex life as in we have sex regularly.

Just wondered if it would bother you or am I overthinking it?

Nappies?

What nappies are u using size 1s ?
I’m finding pampers and Aldi are leaking most of the time 😢

4.5 week old constantly crying

Does anyone else’s baby just seem to do nothing but cry?!! I’m exclusively BF my little one and baby did used to cry but not like this! Over the last week or so baby has stopped falling asleep at the breast and is wide awake after feeds - it looks something like - wake up crying, feed (can be fussy pulling on and off breast and needing to be put back on as still showing hunger cues, either scream straight after and be awake but somewhat content for ten mins, then scream again, baby will eventually fall asleep but for varying durations of time (5mins to 1.5hrs)

Any solidarity or words of wisdom??!! I feel numb and guilty for not enjoying this part of my baby’s life💔

Crawling

Is your little one crawling? My little girl is so close

Anyone know when the newborn insert can be removed from this seat? The booklet is absolutely useless.

Seat previously used for my son but he was over one when it was purchased so newborn insert was never used.

No kissing

Those of you who didn't let anyone kiss your babies, when did you start to let them?

I've had a no kissing rule since my LG was born, which was fine at the start but there have been a few incidents lately where her grandparents have kissed her where we have had to say something. One of these incidents she ended up in hospital with bronchiolitis and the other grandparent suffers from cold sores so I'm uncomfortable with her ever kissing my LG if I'm honest.

I just want to protect her but my partner thinks there needs to be a cut off point where we say it's ok.
