As others have noted, this stuff does seriously reek, even more than the other formulas made from dying cattle. It does, however, stay down better than the powdered products, even the powdered Alimentum, perhaps because it’s thicker. If circumstances leave you no alternative but to supplement your baby with formula, the ready-to-feed products are handier and perhaps better-tolerated until you can get your baby onto fruits, vegetables, and grains. If your baby tolerates the RTF soy formula, that’s an obvious better choice than this stuff.

If you’ve been struggling to give comfort and nutrition to a baby with serious reflux issues (what many call “colic” is in reality, very often just severe reflux) please try this formula. It doesn’t smell good, no, but your baby will LOVE it. And there’s a great chance you will end up with a happy, relaxed, smiling baby just a few days later. It worked wonders for us.

Our baby handles this better than any other formula we’ve tried. Very little gas and spitups, plus she’s growing like a weed. Her acid reflux went away, she sleeps better, its great.
My complaint – this stuff should not cost as much as it does. Its a scam that they jack the price of the only formula that works for certain children, knowing parents who have no choice will have to pay for it. Its costing us nearly $500 a month for this stuff. The businessmen at Abbott Labs who decided to profit off children with special dietary needs should be ashamed. I’m *certain* it can’t cost twice the price to manufacture this.

Hypoallergenic formula was necessary for our daughter’s acid reflux.
We found out from a friend that most insurance companies will completely cover the cost of hypoallergenic formula, either by reimbursing you what you’ve spent on it, or if you get it as a prescription through your pediatrician. Ours did!
Many doctors don’t know this, so they don’t know to give a prescription for the formula. Call your insurance company today!

Just wanted to say that my son was premature and had severe reflux and allergies to the milk protein. This formula was better than any other, even the Neocate. Just a side note, the liquid formula IS different than the powder. The liquid formula doesn’t contain corn solids and the powder does. I had my son on the powder and he would arch and pull away after two ounces (his twin sister could take about 5-6 ounces at this point and his weight was much less than hers). I switched to the liquid and he sucked it down like he hadn’t eaten in months. It’s very expensive but totally worth it in our circumstance! The only reason it doesn’t get five stars is b/c, yes, it has a horrible smell… but he likes it so I don’t really care what it smells like!
