Enfamil Nutramigen Baby Formula, Hypoallergenic and Lactose Free Formula with Enflora LGG, Fast Relief from Severe Crying and Colic, Powder Can, 19.8 Oz (Pack of 1)

My wife and I had all kinds of issues with our baby when we first brought her home. Whether we had her on breast milk or formula, she was continually vomiting after eating. Not only was she vomiting, but she was incredibly uncomfortable. After every feeding she would squirm and cry, and there would be audible rumbling from her stomach. We saw the doctor several times about the problem and had two different medications prescribed. One did nothing, and the other helped only minimally. It mitigated the squirming, crying, and belly noises, but did nothing to help with the vomiting. One night we were at the end of our rope, and I went and bought some Nutramigen. It is formulated for babies with an allergy to cow's milk (although we are still not entirely sure that is her issue).Man...this stuff made a difference. Her vomiting stopped almost immediately. She showed no signs of the previous discomfort, and was able to eat and gain weight like she should. She is now six months old, and has been on Nutramigen for around the last four months or so. This stuff was truly a lifesaver for us.Nutramigen is significantly more expensive than most conventional formula, so I would not recommend it unless it is truly needed. If it is, though, it is worth every penny. We have also heard from the doctor that a lot of babies do not like the taste of it and will not eat it, but we have not had that issue at all. As always with something like this, your doctor's advice is much more important that that of a reviewer on Amazon. If your baby is suffering with any of the issues ours was, it may be something you should mention to them.Also, our doctor's office worked with us on trying to get our insurance to cover the cost of the formula. Our insurance company would not cover it unless there had actually been a test done showing an allergy to milk, but this may also be something to look into if you find yourself needing to switch to Nutramigen.

This was the only formula that worked for my daughter. I think we tried at least 10 different formulas before settling on Nutramigen. My baby had pretty severe reflux and milk protein intolerance to the point where she would spit up at least half her bottle with every feeding. It was incredibly stressful trying to find something that she would keep down. Nutramigen didn't completely get rid of her spit up but it definitely lessened and we never had any of the constipation problems that we had with the other sensitive formulas. We also tried the Similac version of this (Alimentum) and that didn't help as much as Nutramigen. My daughter was finally able to sleep peacefully without the grunting or gargling in her throat. She even rarely spit up at night so we got to stop worrying about her spitting up in her crib. This stuff is definitely costly but again, it is worth it. Being able to buy it in "bulk" on Amazon helps with the cost as well. Only rarely could we find it cheaper anywhere else and that was only because of some kind of promotion and coupons (sign up with Enfamil and they'll send you coupons).

Great formula. I tried other brands but this one does the job

Smells gross once mixed and heated. Taste bitter to me. Baby loves it and agrees with her sensitive stomach. Just wish the price was better. Sooooo expensive!! Tried 3 formulas then her pediatrician recommended trying this and we see a huge difference in her bm’s, gas, colic and overall attitude. For reference she started this at 2months and is currently 3mos and 3 wks old.

I breastfed my youngest daughter for first 4 mos. of her life until I was not producing enough milk for her appetite so we started formula. She broke out immediately into a severe allergic reaction with the first use of formula that required a trip to the ER, two Benadryl shots, one Epi shot, and two steroid shots later. Apparently, she was and still is, allergic to cow's milk so the only thing she could drink other than my breastmilk was Nutramigen. We mixed it slowly little by little with my breatmilk until finally when she was one yr old, she was completely on Nutramigen. She had absolutely no side effects or allergic reactions but still got her protein and grew quite well over the years. Three yrs later and she is still drinking it! She does not like the almond milk, or coconut milk we tried and she's allergic to soy so we still give her this formula. I've asked my daughter recently if she likes the taste of it, and she said yes. I guess she's so used to the taste. Well, eventually we have to move onto something else but she still has a severe allergy to milk protein so until then, Nutramigen is her fav drink. She prefers it over apple juice even! It has been costly over the years but I believe it saved her because without my breatmilk, there was nothing else she could stand. Btw, we did try the similar version but she did have a bit of a reaction to that.

My baby is allergic to cow’s milk protein and this the only formula that works. We got a doctor’s prescription for it and after getting some help from a non-profit organization called Helping Hands, I was able to get my insurance to cover most of the cost, which is amazing because it’s insanely expensive.

This stuff smells terrible - as did the Enfamil infant formula we had our baby on. It's incredibly pricey, as was the infant formula. But as with the Enfamil infant formula, our baby does great on the Enfamil Nutramigen formula. He had a terrible raging/flaming/oozing diaper rash for two weeks. He had been on Gerber Good Start for 3 months - tastes and smells yummy, but caused spit ups, runny diapers, and likely contributed to the diaper rash. After 2 weeks of unbearable howling and sadness from our kiddo, we switched it all up. Changed to chlorine free wipes, chlorine free diapers, Aquaphor ointment, and Nutramigen formula. Voila - diaper rash noticeably improved in 24 hours, gone in 48 hours. Happy baby again! Our pediatrician we could start reintroducing Gerber an ounce at a time to see if we could switch him back. Tried introducing a few ounces over a couple of days, baby started spitting up again. So Nutramigen it is, even it takes the entire paycheck.
