How to get LO to take nutimagen ???
« on: January 21, 2013, 22:06:37 pm »
She HATES the taste, and she won't take a bottle. 

Any tips ?  I smelled it and it smells so bad, like fish.   :-X

Hi hun...

She won't take a bottle at all?   Has she been EBF until now?

Baby is right, it is foul ;)  But there are a few things we can try...

Hi Kara, yes EBF...will not take a bottle no matter how hard I try.  I've read the links but nothings worked thus far.

Now to incorporate the new formula..even trickier!  I've heard to add pure vanilla to the bottle?

I've heard that one too ;) 

Are you transitioning from EBF to bottle with the hypo formula to treat a milk protein issue?  Or are you just supplementing with it and doing an elimination diet yourself?

We used a small drop of golden syrup added to the bottle to get Ds2 to take neocate (also revolting) then I just stopped it after about 3/4 days ;) you can also add maple syrup and s,e people add icing sugar but I didn't like that idea. :-\

Hi Kara...I'm doing an elim diet but want her to get used to hypo formula for when I go back to work. Docs are unable to find a source for her constant irritability thus they suggested I do an ED,

Hmm, I'll try maple syrup perhaps, ur right, icing sugar seems a bit too drastic lol!

We used some brown sugar, it only took a few days to wean the sugar to pure milk.

The brown sugar/golden syrup will help with a bit of constipation that may happen with the move to formula as well :)

Good luck hun - let us know if she is still refusing in a couple of days.

Alright, do you have a pump? 

We might have to be really sneaky with her... BM in the bottle first to get her used to taking it... then slowly mix the BM with the formula...

You could try it really cold (like a milkshake) or as warm as hot chocolate. My sister's a neonatal nurse and she said the different temp helps some lo's....my dd refused it though but on retrospect I should've added something sweet as it's so horrible :-\  :-X.
