So I need some help. My son has an allergy/lactose intolerant to my breast milk. We tried Similac Alimentum which worked great for him but is super expensive. our doctor told us to try soy formula. I gave him a bottle and an hour later his tummy was upset and he was doing the same thing he did on the breast milk. my question is how long should I try the soy for to see if he ends up being okay on it? Should I try a couple more feedings? Should I cut it off?

@jesscami, my insurance will cover it with a prescription but my doctor and I are holding off to see if the soy will work before be prescribes the Alimentum, we cut dairy completely out of my diet and it still made him upset. his pediatrician said it's probably lactose intolerance/ allergy and told us to switch.
sometimes they only react to your breast milk badly because of something in your diet. try cutting things out of your diet to see if it helps
have you tried applying for WIC to help out with formula costs? Or sometimes consignment sites like VarageSale have people on there selling new and unopened formula in bulk that they no longer need for cheaper. that's where we've found Isabelle's for almost a month now.
our doctor said it takes at least two weeks to be able to tell how a formula truly affects a baby.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
When can I start giving my son regular milk? He turns 10 months in 2 days. I bought unsweetened almond milk yesterday so he can try. Would that be okay? I’m lowkey tired of him on formula but I mean he’s still a baby lol.
I've been supplementing some with formula because my baby boy just demands more than what I'm putting out and he seems happier with the formula..my breast milk doesn't seem to satisfy him enough and it seems like he's always hungry unless I give him formula..should I switch to formula only? I thought breast milk was supposed to be best but in his case I'm not so sure ugh idk what to do I just want him to be happy
At What Age Should a Child Make Their Own Breakfast?
Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
we can cover it for now. I was just trying to see how long I should I try the soy for to see if it's affecting him or not. The Alimentum helped a lot but we tried to soy today and he's having the same reaction my milk starting having
