Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Baby Formula, Probiotic LGG, 19.8 Oz, 4 CT

Saved by the bell. Was running short of baby formula but thanks to this size I made it happen.

My son has reflux and milk sensitivities. So, I tried another organic baby formula for my baby. That one gave him really painful, hard stools. I read some reviews and decided to try this one. Even though it is costly, I really hated seeing him wake up in tummy pain, or having screaming bowel movements. This one works perfectly. Yes, it stinks. Yes, it is expensive. But what formula smells like roses? After a week, I stopped noticing the smell of the formula. The important thing is that my baby digestive issues are all gone. In fact, it even helped with his reflux. He spits up FAR LESS than he used to (from after ever single feeding, to maybe once a day). And his poo is the right consistency and he no longer cries/screams when he goes poo. So, it's worth every cent and even the endurance of the smell for my happy, healthy baby!

Around 3 weeks, our little guy started having a really difficult time digesting anything we gave him: breast milk, Similac, Enfamil, Gerber. We tried all of their sensitive formulas as well and nothing helped him! He would scream for hours trying pass everything. It was torture for everyone involved. Being first-time parents, we thought it was just colic and that’s what we had to deal with. My sister-in-law told me about this formula and she said my niece was a different baby after using it. She wasn’t wrong! Within the first 2-3 feedings, the screaming had stopped and my son was able to pass everything through his body without any issues. We’re not 100% if he had a lactose intolerance or milk allergy as of yet, but this formula has helped him so much! He seems to like it, too! It was an easy switch to make! Just a small note to buyers: it does have an interesting smell. And it will clump up if you don’t mix it well. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic product; highly recommend if your little one is struggling with other formulas or colic!

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).

So glad we made the switch! My 6 month old son at the time now almost 8 months had horrible digestive issues, he couldn’t tolerate tummy time for very long because of his constant tummy troubles. Also because of the dairy in his other formula he had severe mucus build, exima on his face, throwing up all the time and and mucus congestion. He couldn’t breath when he was eating because he was producing so much mucus, it was literally coming out of his tear ducts. He has had several ear infections and he is on his way to needing ear tubes unfortunately, but they aren’t nearly as bad as it was on the other formula. It’s very pricey, and I literally cringe when we have to dump it out because he didn’t eat the entire bottle at daycare within the hour time frame lol but it’s so worth his overall well-being and gained health!

My baby was never diagnosed with colic or a milk allergy but my gut instinct told me that his crying at night and gas issues werent normal. He was basically living off gas drops, GRIPE water and Friday "Windi" tools. It was getting ridiculous. So I decided after buying 4 different kinds of low lactose/sensitive stomach formulas that I was finally gonna go for the big guns. Well first off, lets talk about taste. I haven't taste it myself but the smell compared to his other formula is something that I knew he wasnt going to like. In fact, he looked at me like I betrayed him the first time I gave it to him. Secondly, the cost. Most formula I have bought is around $20 a container.... This is $40. So to make it stretch longer, I mix it 1:1 with his old formula during the day and give it to him straight at night. Mind you, I also breastfeed when possible. Lastly, it def makes his BM a lot more liquidity. Like we are talking the "hershey squirts". Now did it work for him in regards to his fussiness and gas? Absolutely! Night and day difference. He is almost 6 weeks old and he used to wake up 2-3 times at night kicking his legs and crying. Now he sleeps on average 6- 7 hours uninterrupted with no indication of discomfort. I also made a notation that his eczema on his cheeks is clearing up significantly ( he has been using this formula for approx 4 days now). My biggest issue? The cost. It probably cost the manufacturer less then $4.00 a can to make. In other words, they are taking some serious advantage of desperate parents. Not cool Enfamil. Not cool. FYI- Their "rewards program" for this formula is a joke. It saves you like a few bucks a tin. So like what? 10 %? That's less then my state tax! Im still gonna hunt around for a cheaper alternative because I can not afford $80 every 2 weeks.... At least thats how much it would cost me to exclusively feed this formula to him. (1 can a week).
