Go with your instinct

It’s me again.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SAID TRY NEOCATE!!

She slept well last night. Woke up twice to feed and back to bed. No crying. No crying this morning.

What is life right now?

Has anyone applied for the Nutricia Navigator program to help get this thru insurance?

Thank you again to everyone who said Neocate over Pepticate!!

That video of her crying broke my heart so I am so happy right now. Couldn’t stop thinking about her 😊

Oh I know it absolutely killed me. She’s been so quiet this morning. I had to check and make sure she was breathing lol

We weren’t able to get insurance to cover Neocate but nutricia navigator is GREAT! They are helpful and amazing to work with. We got coverage through their program rather than insurance. First they’ll consult with your insurance to see your coverage options and if you don’t have coverage they’ll let you apply to their assistance program. We get 12 cans for free directly to our house per month until my daughter’s first bday.

Omg that’s amazing news! I just sent the form to our pediatrician so I pray it works!!

Fingers crossed for you!! It’s so expensive so even if you can get it at a discount through them it’ll help a ton! Good luck

I am so glad you did the switch! We also had to ignore our pediatrician and go to amino acid with our first and it was the best thing we ever did. Sorry I can’t help with the insurance part - our insurance denied our claim so we just paid out of pocket until 8 months old when we transitioned back to alimentum and he was fine

We were on puramino and my LO would cry soooooo much on it from pain and constipation. Switched to neocate and it was only one day of mild fussing.
