i'd go quickly if she'll let you too. i've had/having a hard time with my LO going from Neocate LCP to Neocate Advanced (both hypoallergenic formulas but baby and toddler ones), the only significant diff is the oils used to make it but obviously enuf of a diff taste to him, he flatly refused any neocate advanced by itself. so went 25%, 50% route but then he would throw the cup at 50% :o, so now going oz by oz swapping, and cant get paste 50% without him refusing (this is 2mths later, tho i try again every month). long story short, def try and get it over and done with quickly if she's accepting it so she doesnt get used to any particular taste until it's all swapped over. so glad it is going well for you both :-*

Thanks, that's exactly what I did last night. I threw caution to the wind and gave her full formula - which she downed ;D ;D ;D

So there we have it, in 36hrs she was fully transitioned onto it and now I just have to wean the sweetener. I'm going to take the same approach I think and do it quickly. I took a 3 bottle per day approach though I don't thinl she needs 3 per day at this age (dietician thinks two 8oz bottles are enough) but I wanted to do this quick. She's not taking nearly as much solids so once I get her on it with no sweetener I'll drop her down to two bottles per day.

Thanks again everyone. I'll update weaning the sweetener.
