Title: NEOCATE LCP formula
Post by: pinkladyangel on February 17, 2013, 09:08:10 am: Hi all
Our LO has been really unsettled since four months (he's now 5 months) and we've now been prescribed with neocate lcp formula. I just wondered if anybody else has used this formula and what their thoughts on it are. The reason for asking is that R has only had 3 feeds of it and he won't drink very much of it. He was on 7oz of formula 4 times a day. Teatime yesterday he had 5 out of 7 oz. His bedtime he only had 5oz again and this morning I thought he would be starving he only had 3 and a half oz. He's lucky that he can afford to lose a bit of weight but obviously I dont want him to lose too much. The milk smells and tastes foul (yes I've tasted it lol) but I've heard that its a fantastic milk for our lo to be on. We didn't even have to put up a fight to get it. Our ped is brilliant just a little slack at returning calls.
Any thoughts would be gratefully recieved.

It is absorbed and has very little waste so your LO may not need as much. :-\

If you think part of the problem is taste try putting a drop of golden syrup in it for a few days, en ditch it. Works a treat :-*

Bit of a gross one. What were your lo dirty nappies likr. Our lo is quite loose at the moment. Think it may be down to teething and also he's full of cold.
