Hypoallerganic formula in UK?

Submitted by kodi on Tue, 04/14/2009 - 23:10.

My baby is on Enfamil Nutramigen formula. I'm in UK on holiday and running low on this formula. I need to buy a can urgent. Where can I find it? If not, what is available in UK that's comparable to Nutramigen? Thank you.

I think Nutramigen can be bought over the counter at most large pharmacies (generally it's given on prescription but I don't think it's exclusively available on prescription), an alternative I guess would be Neocate but you'd have to speak to the pharmacist about your child's specific health problems.

Try one of the large pharmacies in one of the supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsburys or Morrisons.

I would imagine that it will be very expensive though.

Let us know how you get on.

I tried Tesco and Sainsbury no luck. But Lloydes pharmacy had it. In US there's only one type nutramigen regardless of the age, but here there's nutramigen 1 for less than 6 months babie and nutramigen 2 for 6 months and older babies. Mine is 6 months so I bought nutramigen 2. I hope they taste the same as the nutramigen we get in US. I'm going to give it to her tomorrow.

Thanks!!
