I used too , even now my son will only drink three ozs instead of 6

My protein vanilla is the one I used

is It the flavdrops ones? Xx

Hi, yes it is. I used 4 drops in 6oz for day 1, then reduced a drop per day .

thank you how long was it until you noticed an improvement with your LO symptoms x

So we started on nutramigen which helped the intense crying etc but didn't eliminate everything so moved on to pepti which helped massively for about 5 weeks then mucusy poos came back and then blood so now we're on neocate. The poos cleared up after 24 hours but he's still drinking a lot less than before. It took at least a week each time for him to accept the milk and then about a month to drink more.

can you put vanilla essence into the milk?

yeah straight into the milk. You can then wean them off the drops.

Most vanilla essence, extracts and pastes have alcohol in them.

there are plenty without if you look online.
