I'm not sure either, but my daughter was put on Alimentum in the NICU for a milk protein allergy and we were told not to try to switch her to anything else. Not sure if the hospital just supplies Similac or if there was a reason not to try Enfamil?? Heather- Hospitals do pick. Some give Enfamil and some give Similac. I don't know how they decide, but that is exactly how it is set up.
I just looked it up and found some info. Alimentum has slightly less. Not sure how accurate the info. Join now to personalize. October Birth Club Alimentum vs Nutramigen g.

We ended up putting him on Elecare. When we first started it, they told us it tastes better than the alimentum so babies are usually more willing to drink it. He said we could always add a little vanilla to either one if we had problems with him drinking it.
Luckily, he likes it well enough and has had no problems on it, so we stuck with it he's turning one next week so I'm at the point of trying to figure out what's next!
It sounded like if he still had allergy symptoms on it, we would have gone to Alimentum before having to go to Neocate. So, I always understood Nutramigen and Alimentum to be different brands of the same thing, but the Nutramigen tastes a little better. A quick call to your pediatrician sounds like a good idea--you don't want to have to pay for the Nutramigen or Alimentum if there's not really an allergy Plus, if you haven't actually cut dairy from your diet, you have no idea how hard it is to be constantly vigilent of all the hidden sources of casein and whey, all while having a newborn.
My son's bloody stool had landed him back in the hosptial after being home for ust three weeks following his first month of life in the NICU, so it was the NICU nutritionist and the neonatologist who were advising me. He'd had a similar problem while in NICU as a 32 week preemie. When I did started breast feeding again, I was told to limit it to once a day and work my way back up to two or three times a day whereas the pediatrician had had me go straight to 8 times a day when I brought him home from NICU the first time.
By that point, though, my production was so low after so many weeks of 6- 8 time a day pumping and once or twice a day breast feeding, that he needed the formula for the majority of his milk. I kept the diet up for another month and he breast fed once a day and I pumped twice a day and used that frozen milk for once a day to let him have breast milk even longer. For others experiencing problems--I just wanted to add that sometimes people have made every single honest effort possible to breast feed and a whole lot of small reasons add up to babies needing formula, too.
It's not always a simple diet change with immediate results. You should never feel guilty about what you did or didn't do or did or didn't try.
It's bad enough to deal witht he emotions of being a new mom for whom feeding is not going as you always dreamed it would, without other people making you feel more guilty.
