PREEMIE ALLOWED!** NO MORE BREAK, BURST-SPIN OR FUMBLE!

What can I say, I'm sure most parents, like us, fell down that formula rabbit hole first. My son was born premature at 29 weeks and 3 days! In short, in the hospital, where he drank half the breast milk/Neosure. As a result, we were released when my son was 2.5 months old. :) Thank god the universe made sure that our little nugget was perfectly healthy and didn't have any serious problems. FLASH FORWARD. My son is now 5 1/2 months old. By the time he got home, my milk supply had run out and dried up. At this point he was 3 1/2 months old. We gave him a Neosur because we thought that he is already taking it and everything would be fine. IT DID NOT HAPPEN! My poor child was bulging, crying, in visible pain, he was constipated, vomiting up to nine shells! So we went into the formula rabbit hole and tried basically everything in terms of sensitivity, absolute comfort, the list goes on. I contacted one of his ICU nurses and she suggested Alimentum. Although definitely more expensive, it was the MAGIC JUICE that brought my child back to their calm, happy self. :) Definitely lighter on his tummy and he's down from 3lbs at birth now at 5 1/2 months (adjusted for 3 months), my baby is a healthy 12lbs 9oz! He poops every other day and is just the happiest baby in the world! I would definitely recommend Alimentum to any parent suffering from the same issues we had after running out of breast milk. SHIPPING IS AMAZING, since we have it delivered automatically every two weeks, the packaging always comes with no delay either! Very happy with our purchase and a HAPPY BABY! Thanks to ALIMENTUM for bringing back our lucky nugget! Milk-based formulas have longer chains, making them harder to digest for some babies as their bellies are still developing. It's not as thick as other formulas so we feed my son about 3 ounces every 2 hours, more or less. Every baby will be different, but I also notice that he gets hungry faster than if he had my breast milk and Neosura. It is also not as high in calories as NEOSURE, so be sure to speak to your pediatrician if your LITTLE ONE requires a high-calorie diet.
