Hi, we just found out DD has a MPI. I still bf, am now eliminating dairy from my diet. I am looking for a formula I can give DD when I am not able to bf, for example when at work or out for the evening. As far as we know she does not have a SPI. The dr. recommended regular soy milk, but I think she should still be having something more nutritious like a baby formula. I bought Isomil (?) step 2 today... does anyone else have something they have found success with?
Thanks!

How is her diet generally? If she is eating well and a variety of foods I would go with your Drs recs to be honest. Formula is very filling (not to mention expensive!) and can interfer with food intake. Now she is over 1 her milk is a drink rather than the meal it used to be!

Hi, after talking to another nurse I will stick with the soy milk. I never did formula so I didn't realize how expensive it was until I looked today!

We did isomil until 18 months and then went to soy milk, it doesn't have the fat content that whole milk does, but I made sure to make up for it in other ways in her diet. Health nurse was a quite miffed as she says that all kids who can't have milk must be on formula until 2 years old...but she had no answer when I asked why it was necessary if her diet provided sufficient fats ::) Spencer likes the Silk and So Good soy milks the best, but they all taste yucky to me!
