If you’re used to preparing your little one’s powdered Neocate formula, you might be wondering if there is an easier way. It’s tough enough getting kids dressed in the morning, much less having to measure out and prepare powdered formula to send to daycare or school. Fortunately another option is E028 Splash!
What is E028 Splash?
E028 Splash, or just “Splash” for short, is part of the Neocate line of hypoallergenic formulas. The “E028” doesn’t mean anything special: it’s just a unique product code that stuck! Splash is technically a “medical food,” which falls somewhere in the middle of a food, a drug, and a supplement. Orange-Pineapple Splash has been available in the US since 1995, and in 2006 we introduced 2 new flavors: Tropical Fruit and Grape.
Splash, just like Neocate Junior, is designed for kids over a year old and contains some of all of the nutrients growing bodies need, like carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Splash is unique because the protein source is free amino acids, which are safe for kids with food allergies and other medical needs that require an elemental diet. It’s also gluten-free and casein-free.
What makes Splash so great?
The number one reason parents love Splash is because it’s so convenient. Splash is the only ready-to-feed amino acid based formula there is! It goes into a backpack just as easily as any other juice box. No more measuring powder, measuring water, and shaking! Not only is this convenient for daycare or school, but it also takes the guesswork out of the equation for babysitters, family, and other parents when your child visits on a play date.
Kids love Splash for a number of reasons. Severe allergies may mean they need a special formula, but who says it has to LOOK like a special formula? Not us! Splash is packaged to look like other juice drinks, so allergic kids don’t have to feel “different” from everyone else. We even use colored straws to mask the look of a formula, because Splash has NO artificial colors. For some kids, the novelty of getting to drink their formula through a straw instead of from a cup can make a world of difference. And don’t tell your little one that we said this, but the drink box keeps the distinct smell of formula wrapped up. And to top it all off, Splash comes in 3 great flavors, which can help kids to stick to an elemental diet by adding variety.
Splash has been a blessing for so many families that it has even appeared in a few news stories: here’s a video of Splash helping Matthew Bernard!
