Has anyone tried HiPP formulas?

Question

I am going back to work for only two days next week. It has recently been discovered that my 8 week old son as a milk protein allergy, which means I have to dump all the milk that I have previously dumped (as I am uncertain what I may have eaten those days). I will pump as much as I can leading up to those work days, but am afraid that I will not make enough! I would like to supplement with a formula, but it seems that all of the US hypoallergenic formulas contain corn syrup, maltodextrin or other types of sugar. As a personal preference, I’d rather not use any formulas with these ingredients! The HiPP brand is definitely more expensive, but it does not contain any of these ingredients! Has anyone on here tried this before? Thank you in advance!

Answer

I used Holle and Lebenswert formulas (I’m from the US) as a supplement since I wasn’t able to pump an adequate amount while away. My baby did well with accepting a different milk as well as digesting it. We’ll be using these European brands again this round if I’m unable to pump enough or even just as backup.

Answer

I don’t know anything about the formula, but could I make a suggestion? You could join “Human milk for human babies” on FaceBook if you’re on it, and find a local mom to donate the non restricted diet breast milk to. Many are willing to provide you with replacement bags in return.

Answer

Yes, I used the Combiatik (sp?) for the same reason. It's actually about the same price as the Enfamil hypoallergenic, but smells so much better and my daughter took to it better. Don't throw out your milk though! Your baby can outgrow the allergy. Once you start solids you can try introducing dairy again. It took a few tries, but around 7 months my daughter took to yogurt and then was able to drink up the freezer stash.

A little boy in my infant class used hipp. He did wonder on it!

Answer

Hipp is wonderful. I’ve never tried the hypoallergenic formula, but we used their regular Dutch formula and loved it. Does your dr know which milk protein allergy your baby has? Many people (and children) are sensitive to the A1 protein found in cows milk, but goat milk only has the A2 protein in it so it’s easier to digest. We really liked using Holle goat milk formula for my son.

Answer

I’ve heard great things about HIpp

Answer

Love love Hipp formula! My second son had reactions to EVERY US formula we tried. Longest 9 weeks of my life. The first bottle of Hipp and zero reactions. I’ll never use another formula.

Answer

My boy has milk allergies. We supplemented my milk with similac alimentum rta first, it worked. We then switched to Hipp hypoallergenic and sever diarrhea came back. I don’t think their hypoallergenic formula works as well. Besides i didn’t find an organic version of it. 
Lastly, all their packaging in US are huge; and you can only keep it for a few days after opening; so when you are supplementing all of it go to waste ... 
We switched back to alimentum. If I stop pumping fully and baby gets over his milk allergies I will try the regular hipp again.
