We found out that my baby had allergies (milk & egg) about 4 months ago through bloodwork. Other than the bloodwork we had no idea. He never showed any signs of allergies and neither Dh or I have any allergies. The allergy specialist told me that as long as I was bf'ing that I could not eat any dairy or eggs myself. I had been all along and ended up still doing it. My own ped had told me not to stop as Carter had never had any reaction (no gas or tummy aches, hives, or ANYTHING ever!!).
Anyway, fast forward to 2 days ago! I went to see my ped because I am having a hard time finding daycare for my DS due to his allergies. Also I need to wean him off bf during the day as I am going back to work and Carter wouldn't take the formula that the ped recommended. He told me that because Carter is an older baby that I could go right to either rice milk or soy milk rather than struggling with a hypo formula. However, I need advice on which one to try first!!! I was thinking of trying the soy for the protein content. DS has never even had rice cereal as he used to have pooping issues and we steered clear of any foods that cause constipation.
So, is one better than the other? Does one taste better than the other? More nutritional? Less hard on digestive system??
Please help!
TIA
