Reminder for Our Neocate One+ Customers

Posted 1.13.11 | Sarah O'Brien

As a reminder for all of our customers who are currently on Neocate One+, we would like to inform you that Nutricia North America has discontinued Neocate One+. Although patients may still find Neocate One+ in circulation, Nutricia’s inventory is being totally depleted.

We encourage our Neocate One+ users to transition to Neocate Junior or Neocate Junior with Prebiotics. Neocate Junior provides the same if not better nutritional support than Neocate One+, including higher vitamins and minerals. Neocate Junior also meets nutrient requirements at a lower volume and is more cost efficient.

As always, be sure to consult with your physician before switching formulas. If you have further questions or need assistance with transitioning, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-365-7354, Mon.-Fri., 8:30 am - 5:00 pm EST and ask to speak with our nutrition specialists.

Cooking With Neocate

Posted 10.20.09 | Christine Graham-Garo

Lately, I’ve been getting a number of calls from parents about ideas for solid foods for their kids, even when the child’s diet is still severely restricted because of a milk allergy, EE or allergic GERD. Did you know that you can actually use an amino acid based formula, like Neocate, as a recipe ingredient?

Here are some guidelines for cooking with Neocate Junior:

cute kids preparing a meal
  • Reconstituted Neocate One+ or Neocate Junior may be heated gently but not boiled.
  • Preferably add Neocate One+ or Neocate Junior as a dry powder to each portion of cooked food just prior to consuming. Let food cool to eating temperature before adding the powder.
  • The amount of Neocate One+ or Neocate Junior that could be added to a child-sizeportion will vary depending on the age, the type of food and the size of the portion. However, too large a dose of Neocate One+ or Neocate Junior in a small portion of food would present a high osmotic load and affect palatability. We recommend starting at 15 - 25 g of powder (see household measurements) per portion and increase gradually as tolerated to a maximum of approximately 50 g of powder per portion, depending on age and portion size. Water or other fluids must always be given with or after foods containing Neocate One+ or Neocate Junior.
  • If the foods containing Neocate One+ or Neocate Junior are refused or left, the equivalent amount of Neocate One+ or Neocate Junior should be given as a drink.
  • Neocate One+ or Neocate Junior could be added to rice pudding, soups, casseroles, mashed potatoes, broths, etc.

Remember, only use recipes that have ingredients that are easily tolerated by your baby or child.

Do you have a favorite recipe that you use? We encourage you to share it with us.
