Formula

by mom

in New Haven, CT on 9/26/08

Pros: Easy on baby's belly

Cons: Can edge sharpcuts, Doesn't come in liquid

Best Uses: Infants, Preemies

Describe Yourself: Parent of Multiples (Twins etc, Parent of Two or More Children

Bottom Line: recommended

Premie twins with gastro issues went through several formulas with no improvement. After seeing a Gastroenterology specialist she put them on EleCare and both are doing well on this formula! Best thing in addition to helping my babies, is that it doesn't smell badly (like the last hypoallergenic formula we tried). Downfall, it doesn't come in a liquid/ready to serve option.

Formula

by Kodakay [Verified Reviewer]

in Crown Point, IN on 9/16/08

Pros: Keeps baby healthy

Cons: Expensive

Best Uses: Infants

Describe Yourself: Parent of Two or More Children

Bottom Line: recommended

After having a difficult time with finding a formula for my baby and him being very sick from other options this was a great formula to make sure he is getting the nutrition that he needs. The downfall is that insurances think this is easy to purchase and it just like any other formula. Therefore they do not cover this and it is very expensive to buy.
