does anyone have a few packets I can buy off them? the dr wants to switch my daughter's formula but first we need to see if she will drink the new ones before we transfer the prescription by insurance. I would pay full price, I just don't want to order a case, 3 packets would be enough.

In the past, when we needed samples, SHS sent them quickly and for free! Once they asked that the nutritionist call them, which she did, and they sent her a whole case of Duocal for us. Other times they sent formula samples right to us.

Hatzlacha!!

SHS is the manufacturer of Neocate. http://www.shsna.com/ It seems they are calling even the North American branch Nutricia though, sorry! It used to be called SHS in the US as you can see from their link.
http://www.shsna.com/pages/contact_us.htm has a 1-800 phone number on it.

Hatzlach!

I am glad they are still wonderful to work with!!

Peptamen Jr is made by Nestle. It can't hurt to try, but they have never been as nice as the Neocate manufacturer!

I tried, they told me to check on Amazon. shipping for a single can is as much as a can!!!! I'm going to wait till we get the Neocate and try that. if it dosn't work I'll get the Peptamin

My inlaws just got all of the Peptamen Jr in their house onto a lift to me, but let me know if the Neocate doesn't work and I will work on finding a can or two for you.

It is definitely tastier than Neocate and my son tolerates it better as well.

Oley Foundation has a TON of Peptamen Jr (29 cases!) on their list of available items. They only update once a month or so though, so it may already be taken.

I know I was tempted, but don't have a way to get it over here right now.

You generally have to pay shipping and it is heavy, but I thought it was worth mentioning just in case.

Nutren is basically Nestle's version of Pediasure. It isn't broken down at all.

If you can wait a couple days I can keep looking for a couple cans for you.

Are you in NY?

You realize every Peptamen Jr can is only 8oz, ready made? If you are going through a can of Nutramigen in two days, how long will three cans of Peptamen Jr last?
