Althera vs Nutramigen

[MovetoMK]

I have been told Nutramigen tastes horrible and Althera is much much better. Has anyone been prescribed Althera? What has been your experience? Apparently the Aptimel Pepti one yang hydrolysed enough for a baby with cows milk intolerance. Is that right?! Thanks!

Wow. What a reply. Thank you so much. I will digest (excuse the pun!!). I've seen those guidelines too but the GP is being SO unhelpful :(

My DD is on nutramigen and had been for 7 moths now since she was 4 months old. Although it smells and tastes awful to me, she takes it just fine - for sure it's better than my breast milk was which causing all her allergic reactions.

For the first few feeds I mixed it with my breast milk so the new flavour wasnt too much of a shock - then decreased my milk and increased the nutramigen ratios.

Good luck and hope your lo takes to it okay. It certainly helped fix my dd
