Pregestamil / Neocate dependant kid
Does anyone here have a kid (over 2 or 3 years old) who is dependant upon
the yucky smelling/testing Pregestamil or Neocate Jr? My 3 yo son is dependant upon the stuff. By dependant I mean that if he does not drink about 700cc of it each day, he will not survive (grow). He has special needs because of GI problems. We've tried all types of formulas and now we're switching to the more age-appropriate Neocate Jr. made in the U.K. as per the GI doctor's request. All this stuff smells and tastes so bad (it is predigested) and I feel horrible making my kid drink this. We've been doing it for 2 years and now he's on strike (flavoring does not help matters, we've tried crystal light, vanilla, sugar, cocoa, etc.). We had to get a g-tube to pump this stuff in him at night time. I wonder how long we'll have to keep this up before he will be able to switch to something that tastes better. My question is this... are there any other parents out there who are going or has gone through this type of thing? Or are we the only ones out here force feeding a 3yo nasty tasting formula? This is not a fun way to go!! Richard |
