Summary

A 5-month-old baby exhibited an allergic reaction to Nutramigen 1 day after his third set of immunisations. The following day he had a similar reaction to Neocate, which was being used as an alternative to Nutramigen. One month later Neocate was slowly reintroduced back into the diet with no ill effects.
