Which hypoallergenic are you on? Were on neocate (rx) and it's like $350 a month. Worth it, but I may try an OTC hypoallergenic when he gets a little older and bigger
I just picked up some EleCare today and was shocked at the price...$45 for a 14oz can. I thought Nutramigen was expensive at $27 for 12.6 oz, but it's not working for us. We have to meet with a GI doc in the morning to hopefully figure some stuff out.
Holy cow you've got me beat! Neocate is $37 a 14oz can. Ask for samples samples samples! And maybe ask if there's a prescription formula you can get on that your insurance may help cover? Yowza!!!!

ermagherd I'm dying at $350/month. Holy shit woman!
We spend $350-375 on formula for 2 babies.... that's crazy for just 1! We used Nutramegin hypoallergenic for my DD. There's also Alimentum which supposedly tastes a little better. Did your LO ever try either of these or did you go straight to neocate? Is elecare any less than neocate? It is also an elemental formula.
I just saw this convo. We use alimentum. Its about 30 dollars a 1lb can. We get $5 checks from the company, $2 manufacture coupons, and lately if you buy 2 at jewel you get another $5 off. Our insurance company said that after you spend $300 on it (which we have for sure already) they will cover 80%. We have been saving receipts but I have a feeling my husband will never actually follow through.
My first DD was also on alimentum and unfortunately could never switch to another formula as she got older. I'm hoping this one will be able to. Her milk sensitivity symptoms are less severe.

That's awesome they will cover it! You should totally keep track of it! When my DD was on Nutramegin they wouldn't cover anything for us She now drinks almond milk but can anything else dairy. What about your older DD?
