The consultant said 0%.

Has any successfully done this with a DC 6nth+?

my ds took neocate (yuck) for the first time with no problems at 10 months, i told the dietitian there was no way he would take it, she said to mix it with bm at first, but i was curious and just offered it on its own and he gobbled down 8oz! we haven't looked back since.

Good luck x

Nope. DD2 12 month old wouldn't accept Nutrimigen either. Tried several times in different cups, beakers etc. Ended up bf until 16 months and slowly moved onto Alprosoy 1 Plus.

DD1 hated Neocate too Hmm

Sorry OP, probably not what you want to hear!

My 9mth old took nutramigem. First time I did ( for eg) one scoop nutramigem and 3 scoops of normal formula/breast milk. And altered ratio over a week or so til he totally accepted it.
