We didn't in the colic, but did in the reflux.

My son's was $42 a can when he was on Neocate. My nephew did better for awhile, then switched to Alumentim or something like that and did better.

My daughter is on the similac alimentum and that was a huge difference it helped her within 2 days. If it wasnt for that I dont know how I would have survived since she is almost 1.

oh ya she has reflux too.

Ive notived alot of colic babies also have reflux. I feel so bad for them 20 different things hurting them. Hope the baby feels better soon though!

i hope so too. the formula claims to have fast effects. 48 hours. now does anyone know about putting it back in the fridge after if she didnt finish the bottle. with bjs brand it didnt say not to but this stuff does. often she wont finish a bottle so i store it and use it next time... i guess i cant with this stuff?

We tried the alimentum, but even it didnt help. breastmilk was the only that seemed to help my little guy At 8months he was a biter tho and I slowly lost my milk supply, so by 10 or 11 months we weaned him back to regular similac advance and he did better, but I think just because he was older and the relux wasnt so bad anymore. good luck!

someone I know had to get the nutramigen for her child and her doctor actually wrote a presecrption for it. So she only pays like $30 a month for it. You could ask your doctor about it.

It can take a while to have her completely better- it can take a month for all the milk to leave her body. We did a pedilyte flush for 24 hrs before starting it, and even with just that it helped. Good luck

Just wait- it'll be so nice not seeing her in much pain!y daughter was almost 6 months old when we tried her on it. It was Christmas Eve and the night before she did not stop crying- not once, we made an apt for first hung that morning ( live my pedi) and within a day we saw a difference but within 2 weeks everything was amAzing. I don't know if you qualify, but wic will cover part of the formula, we had to with it being 25 a can and we went through a can every two days

yeah her doc said something about writing a prescription. i have to call back monday to see if she fill the paper work out right and see what i do next... she was a new doc

I had to have W.I.C cover mine with a doctors not ofcourse. There was no way I could afford a 28 dollar can every 4 days.

My daughter is 11 months now and she gets about 6 Cans a month from WIC and I usually only have to buy maybe one can a month just to make it all add up.
