We had appointment with Pead today to get formula and he asked which one id prefer - pepti or neocate but i didnt know the difference so i just grabed the neocate?????? he had some tins of each for me to have while the others come in so yeah i took the neocate and he signed for the rest as neocate and not pepti......Is there a difference??????
Yes there is a difference, the neocate is broken down to amino acids and the pepti isn't broken down quite that far. We were prescribed neocate and got our yesterday but Spencer won't drink it.
If you have problems or want info about the formulas and the difference between the two you can phone 0800 NEOCATE and speak to their nutricianist.
If you have problem with Astin not drinking it you can mix with his normal formula (but make them up seperately and then mix, I didn't know that and made them in the same bottle and Spencer did a ginormous puke), You can also try vanilla essence or golden syrup (but she advised only doing that as a last resort and to wean it out quickly)
Good luck
awsome thankyou.
I gave Astin 2 feeds of it so far and he wolfed it down!! but man does it smell when its in powder form!!!!!???!!!! it doesnt smell the same when made up though. I was giving him the HA stuff and that smelt terible made up but he still drunk it! although its obvious by looking at him that he would eat or drink anything you give him!! lol
Yeah so does Spencer normally, I was a little shocked when he refused it. But I will trick him into drinking it if its the last thing I do.
It might not smell made up but have a little taste
Have a puke bucket ready. I have a bad habit of licking the temp test dribble off my wrist. DH use to get grossed out when I did it with the EBM hehehehe
I think (not 100% sure tho) that Pepti is partially hydrolysed so some of the milk protein is still there, therefore if your child is very allergic they have to have neocate, which is extensively hydrolysed. Something like that anyway...
