Neocate Infant Nutrition FAQ
What is an amino acid-based formula?
Amino acid-based formulas are lactose-free and non-allergenic amino acids, which are the protein's building blocks. It means there is very little risk that a child will develop an allergy to them, as a common allergic reaction is a reaction to protein.
How much Nutricia Neocate does any child need?
The amount of Neocate may fluctuate slightly, especially at first. Here are some broad ranges for daily amounts of formula by age. These are the ranges for newborns who are exclusively formula fed ranges for infants:
| 1 – 3 months |
roughly 20 to 30 fluid ounces (fl oz) |
| 4 – 6 months |
roughly 24 to 34 fl oz |
| 7 – 9 months |

How long does it take for Neocate to deliver results?
Every infant is unique. Some parents have experienced finding changes in as little as a few days, although transformation can take time. It requires two weeks to notice a complete recovery in food allergy indications and symptoms.
