INSURANCE WILL PAY for hypoallergenic formula!!
By Amy Green
My daughter used Alimentum and it stopped her colic due to acid reflux. I want to spread the word that most insurance companies will completely cover the cost of hypoallergenic formula, either by reimbursing you what you've spent on it, or if you get it as a prescription through your pediatrician.Many doctors don't know this, so they don't know to give a prescription for the formula. Call your insurance company today!

By Sydney Bristow
Yes, it smells bad.No, it doesnt taste bad. I licked my hand when i spilled it once and it was not nearly as bad as you would think due to the smell.Yes it is extremely expensive, but you know what? It WORKS!When you are up nightly due to a screaming unhappy child, or worse, when you see your child suffering with an allergic reaction or blood in their stool or other awful side effects of a milk allergy or intolerance you are willing to pay any amount of money to make sure your baby is happy and to in turn get some sleep as well.This stuff works, and it is much cheaper then the next option of of Neocate or other amino acid based formulas.Even if your child doesnt have a diagnosed milk allergy, but is extra gassy, colicky, or constipated, give this a try.We started using this because my DD would get severe consitipation on ANY milk based formula. Even now at 10 months, when we tried again with regular formula we have the same problem, so back to alimentum we went.I really do not care about the price or the smell because the alternative is either having a malnourished child or one that is in pain, both alternatives are much more expensive to me.Before the breastfeeding Natzis get on my case- i know breast is an alternative BUT- not everyone chooses to breastfeed and not all babies do well on breastmilk.

It works. Damn it.
By Andi
I have preemie twins, and unfortunately they weren't able to breastfeed due to their extended hospital stay after birth. They were given Neosure in the hospital and once they got home. They do still, in fact, receive two bottles of it a day. They have HORRIBLE reflux. They are taking the max dosage of Prevacid they can receive for their weight (I hate to do any medication, but don't judge me - they truly need it). Despite a consultation with a GI specialist, urologist and surgeon, nothing can be found wrong with them internally (thank God). However, their constant crying and discomfort has had me at a loss for a couple of weeks - even though we try to give them lesser amounts more often to avoid excess gas, burp after every ounce, AND keep them in an upright position for at least 20 minutes after every feeding. Well, I had purchased a HUGE lot of Neosure because I found a fantastic deal on it (about $8/can). So I really hated to ask the pediatrician about trying a different formula due to possibly wasting the Neosure, but since money isn't as important as my boys' comfort, I did. He said to try the Alimentum. I was not happy at all to pay $27 for a 16 oz can (That's why I knocked off a star - yes, it is less expensive on Amazon, but I didn't want to buy a case before trying. Even so, it is highly expensive formula). However, one day later - they are different babies. I knew their little personalities were that of smiles, but they have never had them for more than five minutes at a time. This stuff has made all the difference. That's where the "damn it" comes from. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad something works, but I was really hoping it might be a regular formula that treats fussiness or gas, but alas, it is this. In addition, it's thinner so they drink more of it. I plan to keep the bill for all of the money spent on this premium formula and they can start working it off when they are able to start doing chores. (that's a joke for people who don't have much of a sense of humor) Oh, and I think it doesn't smell nearly as bad as any other formula. I think it smells as if you made a soup of nothing but saltine crackers.
