Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Hi, Does anyone use Polycose or Duocal? Do you use it in every bottle? I'm looking for anyone's experience with it...just started using it in Dalia's bottles on the advice of a Nutritionist at the GIs office...she wants a tablespoon in each bottle (Polycose in the day and Duocal at bedtime and in the night).

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Hi Sheryl:-) yes, I have used both. First we tried Docal and it turned out that it was not tolerated as well as polycose. Yes when on either one we mixed it in with the rest of the formula for every feed.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Sheryl - We put 1/2 tsp of polycose per ounce of formula in nighttime bottle. This has been an o.k amount for her. Our ped. 1st suggested every bottle to increase calories but had diarrhea from this so I cut it down to just nighttime feedings. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hi Sheryl, We never used Duocal, but we used to use Polycose when was younger, and on a bottle. It was 7 scoops of Similac with Iron, 1 scoop of the Polycose, and enough water to make 8oz of total formula. This created a 30kcal/oz formula, which we fed all the time.
