Nurtramigen users

Those of you that are using Nurtramigen did it take awhile for your LO to get use to the taste and eat it?

My girls are 3 months. We were told by our pediatrician we should switch the girls since they are still having trouble with their reflux and are now on the highest dose of meds. He believes most is caused by slow digestion.

We are going on day 3, both are not eating much, 1 to 2 oz every 3 hrs and seem to always be crying out because they are hungry. Our ped said to continue and we would see them eat more at 5 days. Basically, a baby won't starve themselves.
I feel aweful and want to give up. I'm in tears for them. Any advice or words of encouragement is much appreciated. Two crying, hungry babies is so difficult.

We just started this and I was actually going to post something bc LO went seems to only take 23 oz at a time. He's almost 2 mo and I've seen him down a 5 oz bottle before. He seems to like it but just isn't finishing the bottle.

We are going through the same thing with DD on the Similac version (Alimentrum). DS was put on it at 6 months and ate normally right away. DD has been on it for almost a month ... She eats 1-2oz in each bottle all day long the suddenly in the even she freaks out, screams, and finally chugs 4-5 oz and then goes right back to only 1-2. Edi isn't concerned yet because she's gaining weight.

Ds1 needed nutramigen and refused to drink the first day we switched. He cried like crazy that day, but after that he was fine. I remember calling the nurses line bc I was sure something was wrong. He got used to it and drank it like a champ after that. Could you do half nutramigen and half old stuff? That may not work depending on reason you switched, but maybe...
