Since B.’s already 12 months and had a whole milk allergy reaction... his pediatrician told us to give him vanilla soy milk (for flavor) and to ditch the soy formula cold turkey. 🙃 The problem is.... Bellamy’s not feeling the vanilla soy, so what am I supposed to do if he’s not drinking his milk? We’re out of formula, and he refuses to drink water too. 😣 Am I doing something wrong?!😞
When my daughter caught her dairy allergy I gave her elecare Jr. it’s a hypoallergenic version of milk and after that I gave her almond milk
Try giving him regular soy instead of the vanilla soy my son liked the regular because they were also testing my son for an allergy because he has blood in his stool but thankfully he doesn’t have an allergy to milk but my son likes the regular soy so maybe Bellamy will like the regular better than the vanilla. You’re doing everything you can don’t bring yourself down you aren’t doing anything wrong at all!
@miaheka, You’re welcome! Good luck I hope this helps! 💙
@amberdaugherty, Another question! How did you do the morning and night feedings? We put almond milk in a sippy and gave it to him, but he’s refusing it when he wakes up in the early mornings. :/
@miaheka, I usually give my son a bottle instead of a sippy in the morning and at night but sometimes he won’t want his bottle in the morning so I’ll just give him Cheerios or cut up pieces of fruit instead, it’s normal for them to refuse stuff and have odd feeding habits at this age because they’re still getting used to eating normal foods and drinking normal milk instead of formula. My son has trouble too at times I think it’s just them trying to adjust.
@miaheka, he will have a few days like that with the sippy but will learn to love it, usually you’ll have to try a few shoots before he finds one he likes. The good thing about almond milk is that it’s not dairy and is lactose free also. I would try a little of it to see how he does . Or even the plain soy milk.
@denisse.m, thanks girl!!! I’ll try the almond milk today, and if he doesn’t like that then I’ll have to try the regular soy! 🙃🙈
@miaheka, you’re welcome! I would keep trying all day even if he refuses. Sometimes we got to keep offering it.
Is soy formula milk better than enfamil formula (cows milk)?
Im trying to be vegetarian and dont want my 3 month old drinking cows milk anymore. Would it be okay to switch??
My baby keeps on throwing up his formula, nd I need some advice on what to do nd I can't do breast milk
I am wanting to mix formula & breast milk since I'm not making much milk. What formula do you ladies suggest?
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...
My son turns 1 this Sunday. I have introduced 2% milk as we do not buy whole milk and he was drinking formula still. Well now my boyfriend refuses to buy anymore formula for him now that he is 1. I plan on using whole milk with some vitamins. Do I feed him whole milk the way I would formula? He likes to go to sleep with a bottle and he likes a bottle in the morning. The rest of the day he does pretty good drinking it along with his food. I don’t want to over feed him but I also don’t want to und...
I’m not a fan of the vanilla soy milk but I do like the “original” flavor
