Allergies were my thought, too, but I wasn't going to say anything in 
case it was a zebra :)  Just a note that neocate is loaded with corn.  
IME, there aren't too many babies who have a "primary" problem with 
corn, but if they get damaged by unresolved dairy/soy issues, the corn 
can be just as bad.  If you can, really push for dairy free donor milk.

And a week is pretty optimistic, unless she already eats pretty minimal 
dairy.  Don't toss the milk--freeze it for later when the baby outgrows 
the sensitivity, feed it to another child, or something!
