~~ALIMENTUM PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE WITH IRON~~FROM THE MAKERS OF SIMILAC

by melissasrn, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Mar 12 '02
Pros: Helps to reduce the symptoms of "colic" in babies diagnosed with a protein allergy.
Cons: Very expensive in price; use with the advice of a pediatrician only.
While there is little debate that breastmilk is ideally the perfect form of nutrition for newborn infants, sometimes new parents are either unable to breastfeed successfully, are in need of an artificial means of supplementation on occasion, or...

Pros: Easily digested protein and fats

Thanks Alimentum

by Jennd417 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 22 '00
Pros: good for babies with reflux, colic, similar problems
Cons: smells rotten, stains clothing worse than other formulas
My son is now three years old, but let me tell you from the day he was born it seemed like it was one battle that we fought. I brought my son home and he cried constantly. I thought how can he be so different from my oldest daughter who once had wings...

My little lifesaver!

by islandmama , Dec 25 '01
Pros: A lifesaver for me...
Cons: Only comes in RTF, if starting on an older infant, baby may resist taste.
This review is mostly about my experience with Alimentum, and why I had to use it, in hopes of helping any out there with children who have a milk or soy allergy, reflux, or "colic" ;) My heart goes out to you.

First let me give you some...

Pros: the can comes ready to feed,has reduced some of her crying
Cons: can be costly,spitting up-although it probably is related to her reflux
My daughter is 3 weeks old. She has recently began taking Alimentum. Since she was born she has been on four different formulas. We have discovered in the past 3 weeks that she has an intolerance to dairy,soy, and another formula-Nutramagin. So we are...

Baby Blues

by tango-tweetie , Apr 12 '01
Pros: good for babies with colic or digestive problems
Cons: stains clothes, smells bad
Formula buying days are over in my house; that is unless the good Lord up above has plans that I don't know of. However, I remember well all the joys baby formula brings to a household; the expense, the smell, the joy of picking out a formula that is...

No More Screaming, Throwing Up, or Constipation

by CarieP , May 06 '00
Pros: It Works
Cons: Expensive
Let's start off by saying I really wanted to do the healthiest thing for my son, which I considered breast feeding. That is what I tried to do but it seemed that no matter when he ate how much or little he ate he was throwing it all up and in return...

The only formula he could keep down

by thriftymom , May 15 '00
Pros: No more reflux!
Cons: slightly expensive
When I had my children I knew I wanted to breastfeed. With my daughter for some reason, I didn't make enough milk. With my son, he couldn't keep it down.

We had tried Similac, then went on to Isomil, but he couldn't keep either of those...

Alimentum=liquid gold!

by ashtonsmommy , Aug 31 '00
Pros: No corn by products.. which my son needed!
Cons: Only comes in Ready to feed, kind of a pain to travel with
Well, if you read my recent review of Nutramigen formula made by Enfamil, you will remember me mentioning my son's acid-reflux problems as well as his dairy/soy protein allergies. Well, around the time my son was 8months old, his weight gain was almost...

Thank You!

by missyntim1 , Sep 28 '00
Pros: Finely processed so as to be completely easy on the stomach
Cons: Outrageous price, comes in ready-to-feed only
We were at our wit's end by the time our son was 4 months old. After weighing several factors, I have decided to formula feed our first child. Our pediatrician recommended Similac, which our son took quite well. When he was about 2 months old, he...

by pach120192 , Jan 09 '01
Pros: works wonderfully
Cons: the price
I am so pleased with how much better my son is doing since being on this product. It changed our life and made him feel so much better. My only problem is that the cost is terribly expensive. We are a one income family and the cost for us is...

Similac just didn't work....

by hyprferret , Mar 18 '01
Pros: It's just what the doctor ordered!
Cons: It's QUITE expensive!
...but it wasn't the company's fault.

My daughter Arielle was born 6 weeks early. With that, she held on to many problems, one being that she was lactose intolerant.

The only symptoms she has was mild spitting up and watery...

It Works! It REALLY works!!!

by messinamommy , Nov 01 '03
Pros: It Works! It could literally change your lives. Could be the answer to your prayers.
Cons: So Unbelievably Expensive...especially if you have more than one on bottles.
It works! It really works!!! My second son was born premature and had severe reflux. He cried so hard that he gave himself two hernias. It was heart-wrenching to helplessly watch my newborn in agony and not know how to help him. We did the Formula Da ...

Last but not least

by DebbieJusi , Sep 17 '00
Pros: A very thought through formula
Cons: needs a powder form for some people
For our final journey on the formula highway, our last stop was Alimentum. Even though my son would soon be found not to tolerate this also and eventually go on to enteral feeding, Alimentum IS a good formula for lactose intolerant , dairy allergic. This...

Colic? THIS IS THE ANSWER!!!

by marich , Dec 19 '02
Pros: Baby with Colic? THIS IS THE ANSWER!!!
Cons: EXPENSIVE
I first tried Alimentum when my baby started to develop colic. My son was on Isomil, but was not digesting it well. He was very constipated, so with the advice from my pediatrician, I switched to another Soy-Based formula Prosobee. Prosobee was not...
