Comments about Enfamil Nutramigen LIPIL with Enflora LGG - 19.8 oz:

My LO was born five weeks early and we have been through five different formulas in the two months since her birth. We were sent home with NeoSure from the hospital but as soon as she started drinking more than 1oz at a feeding she got terribly constipated and would just shriek and would be doubled up with cramps. So then we tried Gentleease and it was better, at least she started having BMs again, but she still had just horrible gas cramps and would just cry and cry and cry. She would fight the bottle, but would be crying because of hunger. Then I started doing some research and decided to try a soy based formula and she did pretty well on the ProSoBee for about a month but she would still have terrible fits of gas pains, but at least she would shriek as much as before and had normal stool all the time. In the meantime we also have her on Zantac, give her Simethecone drops, tried gripe water, and put chamomile tea in her bottle - all recommendations from her doc. But still she has terrible pains and cries and fussed and screams if we put her on her back because the gas is so bad. So finally the doc mentioned that she might have a milk protein sensitivity and soy protein is also similar to milk protein and to try a lactose free formula. We tried Alimentum first just based off the reviews, but she spit up so badly from it and had horrible smelling diarrhea that smelled of burnt hair. We stopped it after one day and went back to the ProSoBee until she felt better and had normal stool again. So finally we tried the Nutramigen, and I was nervous because some people said their babies had trouble with the enflora, but so far this has been a godsend! I started with a 50/50 mixture with the ProSoBee to get her used to the taste and smell, although there isn't a huge jump in taste and smell from the soy formula IMHO. She is now almost on 100% Nutrimagen and we have seen such a huge improvement in her!! She is starting to sleep for much longer periods now! Is much easier to console, doesn't scream and fight the bottle when we feed her, has started to laugh and play and is just happier all around. I wish we had tried this sooner. BTW, some people have mentioned that this is hard to mix but I havent found that to be the case. I always put the water in first then the powder, and it also helps ton have slightly warmed water as warm water mixes easier anyway. I just wish it was more economical, or that they at least had those refillable tubs like the Gentlease.

The taste is so bad due to lactose free that my 7-month old just refused to drink it at all. I tried it only one day and gave up. I still don't know what I should do with the rest of the powder!

We tried several formuals before finding this one. Granted it smells terrible. Really terrible. But our son could not stomach any other...always suffered from severe constipation. BUY THE LARGE SIZE its way more cost effective and hard to find in stores.

My newborn started out on Similac advance and couldn't keep it down, she'd just spit it right back up. So we switched her to Enfamil Gentlease which worked miracles on my son, but she just got constipated to the point where she would cry anytime she was getting ready to have a bowel movement. This was recommended to us and we decided to give it a try - within 36 hours she had a 'real' bowel movement! Now she's happy and feeling great. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has tried other formulas with no success.
