Would you start on whole milk?
« on: September 18, 2007, 03:10:44 am »
I have a 1 yr. old getting ready to switch from formula (soy) to milk.  Problem is she does NOT do well with cheese - gets severe tummy aches and constipation from small amts.  She does ok with yogurt & pudding but I'm afraid to switch to whole milk especially since she had to go to a soy based formula.  Any ideas or thoughts?

I agree to. If your dd does not do well with cheese then I would either offer soy milk or continue with soy formula.

Ok, since my last post I'd switched. Biomom kept making faces everytime I said I was going to start lo on "soy".  So, yesterday, she had 2 oz. milk mixed in with her formula for 2 bottles. (6 oz. formula & 2 oz. whole milk for each).  Needless to say, surprise........tummy ache. Not as bad as with the cheese, but bad enough that I don't care what biomom thinks when she gets her back she can mess her tummy up if she wants but while in my care she will be starting on soy!  (Do ya think that's so bitchy of me?)  Wendee  :P

no, I hadn't. She's on soy formula so I just figured soy milk would be like the natural progression. That sounds yucky though, is it?  When I had my own allergy testing done, I was allergic to goat's milk which I thought was goofy.

not bitchy at all i say go for it.the molecules in milk and goats milk are the same size so it may not suit her.its your choice really.we tried it here with the same reaction.

Forgot to say, I don't think your're bitchy either.  Biomom doesn't obviously care as she should.  ::) >:(  You're doing a great job. 

Re goat's milk, it might not hurt to try it.  My ds gets a reaction from cow milk and loves his goat milk.  Either way, good luck. :)

I think your right to go with soy milk. You could try goats milk as people are ok with it. My son reacts to it but then he reacts to soy aswell.
