Btw she’s so cute
I find that my little one doesn't gain a lot either on neocate. He's 6 months old and still fits 0-3 clothes. He is now more mobile so not sure if that has anything to do with it he's also on the 9th centile (been up and down them) he hasn't been weighed recently but by looks and feeling it hasn't seen to have changed
My baby didn’t gain much with neocate even when it was bumped up to 26/kal, she’s now 18m and weighs 21lbs but even now she’s a tiny baby and wearing 9m clothing but as a infant she was constantly in 5% or lower sometimes; her weight chart always went upwards which is good but it was little by little ounces she put on each visit
@Kai I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that's gone through the same!
My daughter wasn’t gaining much weight either but she had a swallowing test and needed thickener in her breast milk…do your hospitals give safe donated breast milk?
Hi, in my experience they want to see linear growth, in the normal range of 20-30 but for it to keep going for several weeks. my son was put on Neocate in NICU (due to a bowel condition not CMPA) but he barely put any weight on it. Dietitians had no explanation why but they tried a different amino acid forumla (Alfamino) and his weight gain took off. He went from being under the centile charts to 50th now at 8 months. My point being is that even if formulas are theoretically the same it might take some attempts to find the right one.
