Hi guys
We have been using Novalac Allergy for over 12 months now, it was a game changer for our son and his cows milk intolerance, however now he is 18 months and we are looking to a suitable transition formula appropriate for his age group, wonder who has gone down this path and what options do we have, any information would be much appreciated!

I’ve been told by my pead to slowly introduce dairy as my daughter gets older and she should grow out of the intolerance and be able to tolerate cows milk. Have you introduced much dairy into his diet?

Hello, my baby started on novalac alergy 6 days ago, after a suspected cmpi he also is medicated for silent reflux. He is 8 weeks old and has started sleeping through the night, his reflux has also gotten better.
The last two days he has had loose, diarrhoea bowel movements which are very smelly and yellow/brownish consistency after every feed.
Is this normal would it be just the transition period? Or mean it doesn’t agree with him.
Any advice would be appreciated

Constipation is an issue with this formula but my lead suggested Actilax and that’s made all the difference. Being a rice based formula it’s more likely to constipate sadly.

Just started my 5 week old on Novalac allergy as my pediatrician believes she may have a cows milk allergy. She is not finishing full bottles, seems settled enough, gags/ reflux even up to 3-4 hours after a feed when she’s in bed. It’s only day 2 for us. Does this get better and will she get use to it?

Im breastfeeding mostly and giving this formula to my baby 1-2x/day, but sometimes he passed very smelly poos/farts. Does anyone know why?

Formula can cause smellier poos and farts. If not caused by the formula it may be your diet. Oranges and eggs can cause breastfed babies to have smelly pops and farts. Hope this helps

Our speech pathologist recommended putting a few drops of mayple syrup or alcohol free vanilla essence to start and gradually dropping it as baby gets used to the taste

My problem with novalac alergy is that it causes teats blocked!!!
I make it at temperature 40 and shake it for at least 1 minute.
This is really a problem when my baby is crying and I have to change the teat during feeding.

So my daughter has reflux and cmpi
We have been on novolac for 6 weeks with constant mucus in poo. Doctors said it was fine but not great, the past few days she has been screaming after feeds, unsettled and has always had massive poos in the formula and they smell awful. This formula is so good because it's thick but what could she be reacting to from it??

My 3 month old has been on Novolac allergy for 8 days and has had constant vomiting and poos once a day which is very watery and dark green. Does this indicate that this is not right for him? Should I change formula immediately as I’m worried about dehydration?

Just wondering how everyone prepares their bottles? if I boil the kettle it takes over an hour to cool to 40degreees to mix the formula and then I still have to wait till it cools to give it to bub? I haven’t used formula before so a bit confused how this works if bub is hungry/in the middle of the night.

I prepare all bottles with measured boiled water and allow to cool during the day. When I need to make up a bottle I do measured formula scoops into cooled water, shake and then heat in the bottle warmer. Good luck

Hi, my daughter has been on this formula for 10 days now after being on novalac colic and she has been quite settled the last 3 days with really foul smelling, explosive poos. Is this normal? Is it her body just adapting too the change of formula?
