Copper sulfate is an inorganic compound that combines sulfur with copper. It can kill bacteria, algae, roots, plants, snails, and fungi. The toxicity of copper sulfate depends on the copper content...The lowest dose of copper sulfate that has been toxic when ingested by humans is 11 mg/kg (8). Ingestion of copper sulfate is often not toxic because vomiting is automatically triggered by its irritating effect on the gastrointestinal tract. ... Copper sulfate can be corrosive to the skin and eyes.

My baby has a milk protein allergy and reflux. She started with Enfamil Gentlease, then went on to Nutrimigen. Neither of them helped. She still had a lot of gas and reflux. She has been on this formula for 5 days and I have already seen a huge difference. She doesn't habe as much gas, she is no longer grunting and straining, and she isn't gagging with her reflux or spitting up as much.

Very grateful that this formula is available, even better it's available on Amazon and a much better price than Wally-Mart. My wife and I knew something was up with our newborn daughter, she would literally cry all day long and no combination of traditional remedies would make her stop. Even breast milk seemed to cause her agony. After doctor trips and a few prescriptions failed we were finally referred to pediatric gastroenterology. We were stunned to learn that our daughter not only had a severe cow's milk allergy but was allergic to Nutramigen as well. Doctor recommended the EleCare and after a few days the agonizing screams stopped and she slowly started getting to a typical newborn eating and pooping (sorry) routine. Fast forward 4 months and we have a very happy and smiley baby with the normal fussing expected of a five month old. For that this product is 10 stars.Since I'm limited to 5 starts I do feel compelled to deduct one star for the cost per ounce of the formula. It is incredibly expensive and I've never seen any opportunity for discount. Other specialty formulas while almost expensive do have coupons, discounts and special pricing. Now that baby girl is on 4 ounces per feeding we are going good to accelerate her transition to solid food as soon as possible. Only other negative besides the price is this formula requires some pretty vigorous mixing to get the lumps out. Think whipping scrambled eggs.

Update: I spoke with the Abbotts Customer Advocate Team. They educated me on what can happen during transport when the climate is not favorable to prevent the formula from spoiling. I honestly had not considered that. They were gracious enough to offer to replace the case I ordered which is amazing given the cost of the case. It will be here in two days... I can’t say enough how grateful we are with their swift action to rectify this for us. Thank you so so very much!!!My preemie son was sent home from the NICU on this formula. He did not have an issue tolerating it at the hospital. Once we came home we had to order our own. No matter how much I shake it, there are still a lot of lumps. My son has a chronic digestive/gastric issue and so we have to buy this expensive formula. But we expect it to be what we received at the hospital.... concerned that this was a knock off.

Thank God Amazon sells Elecare at the price it does. My daughter has a rare chromosome disorder which makes it very difficult for her to eat. She also has milk protein intolerance. For 10 months, I pumped breast milk for her and stuck to a strict dairy-free, soy-free diet to do so. However, because it is so hard for her to eat enough, her already-low weight (7 percentile) dropped to 4.5%. Her GI doctor said she needed her milk to be fortified from 20 kcal/oz to 24 kcal/oz using Elecare. She detested breast milk fortified with Elecare, but she tolerated Elecare fortified with extra Elecare. Hence, we made the switch around 10 months old, and although I think Elecare has led to her throwing up a bit more frequently, she quickly gained enough weight to get back to her normal growth curve of 7%. She now drinks her Elecare without complaint and has continued to gain weight, despite all of her struggles (i.e., reflux, dysphagia, hypotonia).

My LO cried for 5 months strait unless he was eating or sleeping (but a lot of times he wouldn't eat or sleep because he was crying) we went to every specialist you could think of and finally someone suggested we try "elecare formula" and he was a different baby within a day or two! Turns out he has an extreme milk allergy (including moms milk).It took him a few bottles to get used to the flavor but then he was fine.

My daughter was miserable before we started her on elecare. I nursed for a few months, but she was pooping blood and showing other signs of some sort of intolerance. I continued to nurse and cut dairy out of my diet for 2 months. She was still pooping blood, so i switched to nutramigen. That didn't help at all. Then we tried Elecare. Within a few days, she was an entirely different baby. All of her symptoms were gone and she was so much happier! I hate that it's so expensive, but I'll pay anything for a happy, healthy baby.

This formula is stupid expensive, but my son has a severe milk protein allergy and even hypoallergenic formulas like Nutramigen didn’t work for him. Within a day or two of switching to this formula, he stopped screaming in pain every time he had go to the bathroom. I hate how expensive it is, but it’s been worth it for my son’s comfort and our sanity.
