LO won't take Alimentum now that...

Way yummier table foods have been introduced.  I can hardly blame him- I'd take avacado or mango over Alimentum any day but he's only taken 16 ounces today (vs. 29 usually). 

What to do?  I tried watering it down and adding white grape juice but no go.

    Does he have a milk protein allergy?  If you are using Alimentun for reflux then you might could try switching to a milk based formula because they tend to taste better than the ones that are lactose free.

    ETA:  If it's for a milk protein allergy - I got nothing.  I would call my Pedi and get some advice.

    Ben's got both milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance and we recently tried soy which he just threw up constantly.  I can't really imagine what we're supposed to switch too after 12 mos. either.

    Oh goodness.  I'd call your Pedi tomorrow morning to get some advice OR you could start giving him smaller bottles like maybe 5 oz. bottles throughout the day like every 2.5-3 hours?!  Bless your heart!  I hope he was just having an off day!  We are on Nutramigen (same as Alimentun, just made by Enfamil) and I have the opposite problem .. I don't know how I'll ever wean him off of Nutramigen because he loves it like there's just NOTHING in the world like it.

    I barely want to feed my LO Alimentum.  It smells so badly!  

     How was he diagnosed with the milk protein allergy?  Was he tested?  Was it just process of elimination?

    My LO has a milk protein allergy too.  He is on nutramigen.  I really dont have any good advice.  My thought would be to add pedialyte or juice for flavor.  I would ask your pedi how much formula he should be getting a day now that he is eating table foods.  I am at a loss....good luck though!!
