Question

My son was born at 32 weeks. He spent his first month in the NICU. When he was released from the hospital, he was just finishing up his supply of Special Care Infant Formula from the hospital and he was also getting my breast milk. One week after he got home, he was back in the NICU for possible infection, because he had projectile vomiting. Infection was ruled out and he was sent home in 3 days. He began having the projectile vomiting that landed him in the doctors office everyday for almost a week. The put him on Allimentium formula. He vomited worse on that, so they put him on Neosure Infant Formula. He still continued vomiting. Finally, I had took him to a different doctor and he ordered an ultrasound of his stomach. He had pyloric stenosis. He had to be admitted to the Childrens Hospital that same day. He had the pyloric stenosis repair 2 days later. The gastroenterologist had said my son has GERD,soy,milk, food, citric acid allergies and had put him on NEOCATE Infant Formula. He will be 1 year-old in 3 weeks, and the doctor had said about putting him on Pepdite Junior when he turns 1. I had talked to a nutritionist about EO28 Splash and she said it would be better for him to go right on that (EO28 Splash) since it is amino-based, and the Pepdite is not and is harder to digest , and also contains soy. the flavor will be grape since it has no citric acid like the orange-pineapple and the tropical fruit. Which do you prefer? Sincerly, Connie. THANK YOU!

My son is almost 13 months. He tested positive to milk, egg and peanuts when we did RAST at 7months of age. He was breastfed until 10 months, but his eczema was so severe (even though I had an extremely eliminated diet) I quit breastfeeding. We started him off on soy formula, which he did great for a while, except for a little (but persistent) eczema around the mouth area.Now, at 13 months, I tried some organic soy formula, and went back to Isomil - (I also gave him some tofu and soybean paste soup) and he started pooping 8-10 times a day(it doesn't seem like diarreah because his stool is pretty firm. sometimes loose, but not watery). it's been six days. No other symptoms of illness - no fever, and he plays fine. Pediatirican recommended just giving him oral electrolyte for 24 hours. My pediatrician and i am starting to wonder if he's developed allergies/intolerance to soy now. When he was younger, I tried nutramigen and he would NOT take it. It smelled and tasted nasty. I wonder if Neocate tastes as good as soy formula. Will my son take it? And will it help?
I have a four month old son. When he was born I was brestfeeding and would prejectile vomit, had a rash and would cry all the time. The doctor took him off breast milk and tried infamil with iron, same thing would happen. So then he tried lactofree and then soy, the same thing. Now he is on Alimentum and he is getting worse. Now we have bloody diarrhea and he is losing weight. We have now swtiched doctors and the new doctor is sending him to a specialist in Orlando, FL to evaluate. We do know that he has GERD, but the doctor thinks that there is more. He has been on neocate for the 1 day. Do you think that formula will help him? I do not know much about it, except that it is very expensive.

My 4.5 month old has suffered from reflux since birth. Along with the vomiting he also has rattling in his chest, coughing, sneezing which his dr has said are side effects of the reflux. At 3 months he developed ecxema. He also suffered from colic which seemed to go away for a week or two and is now back again. I have been breastfeeding my son and had eliminated milk,soy,tree nuts and never ate shellfish the symptoms still persist I have recently tried another hypoallergenic formula and not only did the symptoms not get better he now has a diaper rash which will not go away. During the past few months I have been to see his dr several times and he denies that my son has any food allergies, how can I get him to finally see that there is a problem and take action on my sons part so that he can finally start to feel better? Also is the formula suitable for babies with multiple food allergies?
