Neocate

We have been on neocate for a few months now and lbs bowel movements seem to be getting worse it will seem like he’s done a massive amount and then there will literally be a tiny hard amount and it’s stuck and he’s struggling to pass. We used to do the p fruits and ready brek etc no bananas etc not making any difference. Anyone on neocate the same? Is there any other amino acid formula that helps promote going easier?

We’re on Neocate and also movicol and my little girl goes a lot better with it. We also have a full pouch of prunes in the morning with breakfast which helps more than any of the other p fruit x

How did you get on movicol please as gp refusing he is 6 months and eating now so surely should be allowed?

@Rachel The gp prescribed it as she ended up with piles from straining so much and making her bum bleed. There is also laxido (I think that’s how you spell it) that you could try and get but they should be able to prescribe movicol. We were prescribed it the first time when my baby was 2 months old x

@Julia hi Julia we have some movicol now. How does your little girl take it? Do you offer it just to drink or disguise in some food?

@Rachel I give it to my little girl in her drink bottle with apple juice. There’s no taste to it but I’ll mix in it hot water to dissolve it and add a bit of apple juice and she sips on it through the day. And then for night time I’ll split 1 sachet into 2 bottles (as she still has 2 bottles) and she’ll have that through night. My little girl can have 2 sachet hence the 2 sachet x
