Oh no at all the sickies!!
MCLisa...in order, no I didnt get to take advantage, my dh works 3rd!
DAvina your panties are mailed.
MCLisa....there is a whole world of 30 calorie an ounce formula for little ones with allergies.
Is she really dairy intolerant? If she's drinking Alimentum, she's more tolerant of dairy than ds. I know its enzymatically hydrolized, but its also got that dairy protein in it.
You could start with Peptamen Jr(made by Nestle), and if that gives her dairy issues, go to Neocate Jr or Neocate one plus. The Neocate has saved our lives. Its made in a completely dairy free environment so there's no chance that even a molecule of dairy gets in . Everything we'd ever tried had dairy contamination.
Peptamen Jr is not really prescription, you just have to go to the p harmacy and ask them to order it. Its not cheap. It ran us $800 a month.
The Neocate is only about $600 or a little more a month, but now our insurance covers it
ITs always a shot that the insurance would cover it, but I dont know how you guys feel about shucking out that sort of money for something that shemight not really need.
You could also try Bright Beginnings Soy pediatric drink...You ask for it at the co unter at Walmart I think....its soy based pediasure type stuff. Depends on what she's allergic to.
you can always pm me or email me for more info. I'm full of info on this kind of stuff
