This stuff stinks like ass!! And yes ass is the technical term. It's even worse when it comes back up! Just had to get that off my chest. I don't know how LO is able to drink this crap.
It's worse then Nutramigen even. We just switched and DS took it look a trooper. Poor little guy. At 6 months we are going to test to see if we can switch him off of it.
I always felt so bad for my infant patients that had to be on Alimentum or Nutramigen. When I was a dietetic intern, I had to taste-taste all the baby formulas and I could barely choke down a sip of those formulas. The only worse-tasting formulas are the amino-acid based ones like Neocate and Elecare. Poor babies!
I think the RTF Alimentum smells marginally better than the powder. However, with time, you get used to it. DD has been on Alimentum now for almost 5 months, and I don't think it stinks anymore.
