My son was on soy formula as a infant, once he turned one his doctor told me to put him on whole milk so he can get everything he needs but Leonel poops and it hurts him he doesn’t even want me to wipe him i notice about a week ago he has a little hemorrhoid and I called his doctor again to discus what’s best for him other than that milk and he said as long as he is pooping once a day he is fine but I’m just like I am going to change him to something soy and see if he passes stool better any advice? 😩
He doesn’t get none of that but he just tries not to poop and he cry’s when he does .
Awesome. He may not react well to cow milk also. If he gets rashes, pimples, stomach aches from it. You'll just have to try different things and see what works for him
Good bacteria is what helps us poop. They help break down the doodoo so it passes easier. Along with fiber and water. I'd say add probiotics and chia powder to his milk. Soy isn't better for digestion, contrary to popular belief. Inhibits digestion over time and hinders nutrient absorption.
You can stick to cow but there's also goat and sheep. A good non dairy option is hemp or coconut. You can even buy combined milks now like cashew/coconut etc. Best of luck.
Switched my 1 year old girl to lactose free & A2 milk- no more diaper rash or runny poop. Goats milk is also an option.
