My baby will be going into hospital next week cause she’s still not gaining weight,they will be putting her on neocate,this’ll be her 6th formula change.she is soon turning 5 mths.please educate me on this formula,pros,cons I want to know

Neocate worked absolute wonders for my daughter. It’s the only formula she would drink and not spit out.

Pros for me were the fact that she was like a brand new baby. We saw a change within the first couple of days and by week 6 all the symptoms disappeared apart from the reflux which is normal with how thin the formula is.

The formula needs to be made with room temp water as the hot water kills all the goodness in it which can upset their tummies a little bit so make sure it’s room temp water.

Only con for me was that it took a couple of bottles before my daughter decided that she likes it as it’s so thin and doesn’t taste very nice so we were told to use a tiny bit of vanilla extract in the bottle. Alcohol free vanilla that is.

My son was on Neocate syneo ( this version has pre and pro biotics that help with keeping him regular). Because of multiple food allergies this was pretty much the only formula he could have. But before we started it he was loosing weight and once we started he started gaining weight, looked healthy, no more dark circles under his eyes.
He’s 14 months now and is still taking their junior version of the formula. On his 1 year check up, he has gone up on the curve for weight. So we are very happy

You have all the right to ask for information to the staff who is prescribing it. You more than anyone needs to understand what is going on.

There are different versions of Neocate. Most of the time is prescribed for allergies.
