PurAmino Hypoallergenic Infant Drink, for Severe Food Allergies, Omega-3 DHA, Iron, Immune Support, Powder Can, 14.1 Oz

This formula is definitely expensive and comes in a small can, but it’s the only thing that worked for my twins. Both were preemies in the NICU—one had blood in his stool and was switched to this, which solved the problem, and the other was extremely colicky and struggling to gain weight from constant spit-ups. Once we put them both on this formula, all those issues cleared up. Doctors tried to switch them at 6 months but they couldn’t tolerate the change, so we stayed with it. Feeding two babies on this has been costly, but thankfully one was eventually approved through insurance. Living in a small town, Amazon’s 2-day shipping has saved us more than once when it was out of stock locally. The price on Amazon is about the same as everywhere else, so it’s worth it for the convenience. Truly a lifesaver formula for us.

***UPDATE: Our daughter is now 15.5 months (dec. 2019) she was started on this Dec. 7, 2018. At 9 Months we were able to start mixing PurAmino with enfamil and by 12 months she was completely on enfamil. We started whole milk at 12.5 months and even now At 15 months she is now drinking whole milk with absolutely no issues. This formula is a miracle. It really is. It helped solved so many issues. Our daughter no longer has to see a pediatric GI doctor. She has been discharged from the clinic! She outgrew her reflux, milk and protein intolerance. We were able to take her off all of her meds for her stomach issues at 6-7 months old. This stuff is expensive and we often had to go between ordering at pharmacies and ordering on Amazon because prices would rise and lower. I am so grateful that my daughter is able to consume dairy and has no allergies. Under the direction of a doctor, if you’re recommended this, give it a go. Our daughter had issues with the taste and constipation at first so we tried other protein-formulas and ended back at this one. I would give this formula 10 stars ⭐️ If I could. ———— My daughter has sever reflux, milk allergy, a protein intolerance to where she can’t digest proteins, and trouble gaining weight. Our pediatric GI doctor recommended we try this first and he gave us a can to sample, he also told us about neonate if we wanted to try that. At first my daughter didn’t like PurAmino and would not eat much and had severe constipation. So we decided to try neocate, she projectile vomited EVERY time we gave it to her. So we tried neocate’s advanced formula with probiotics. She was a pooping machine and wouldn’t eat. After consulting with her GI, he asked us to try this again. So we did and voila! Baby slowly began eating more and her poops became more regular! She is gaining weight on this tremendously! So happy we tried it again! Baby is now happy after eating, no screaming or pain, and falls asleep easily. Her spit up has decreased.

This formula has kept my son healthy and growing strong since only a few days after birth. We had a very difficult first few months that began after starting him on a regular infant formula at the hospital. Despite noticing a lot of spitup, we were assured that it was normal - and this being our first child, we didn't really know any better. After being discharged from the birth stay, things progressed and worsened, my newborn son started to look withdrawn, his color was bad, he was fussy constantly, and he was projectile vomiting after every bottle. We were rushed back to the hospital at 4 days old and spent a week there trying to determine what was wrong. Come to find out, it was a severe milk allergy. They started us on nutramigen but he was still unable to process that so PurAmino was the next step. I was lucky enough to be in a city where a PurAmino distributor delivered us a sample right away so that we could stop feeding my son the formulas his body couldn't handle. Within a few days, he had a complete turnaround. He was alert, happy, and finally putting weight back on. He is now 16 months old, very smart, and since getting him onto PurAmino, he's been growing at a steady rate. He's now 98% in height and 95% in weight and quickly transitioning onto solids. But, one of the best things about PurAmino is that the taste he grew to love and depend on since birth is one that can stay with him until he is fully weaned from bottles at 2 years of age. As a mom to a child with such a severe allergy to dairy (and soy), I feel comfortable knowing that he can get the nutrition he needs from this formula for a little bit longer than the classic 12 month mark. That lets me sleep better at night... and keeps him growing strong and healthy. I don't know where we would be without PurAmino. It is expensive, but given the options we were facing, I couldn't be more thankful to have had access to this formula. And, for what its worth, I always purchased it from Amazon directly which made the hectic chaotic life with a newborn just a tad simpler too!
