Switch Her Formula??
Posted: 03-09-04 11:32am

Jayden has been on soy formula since she was about 1 month old. She had diareah (sp?) on regular formula. I have been told that she will probably grow out of it. So..Should I try giving her regular similac? Or do you guys think I should wait until she is a yr old and starts regular milk??

Could she possibly be lactose intolerant? I had the same problem when I was a baby, so personally I wouldn't switch or I would go talk to a doctor about it!

I did talk to her doctor...He said it is up to me when I want to try to put her back on regular formula. I think I may just wait until she can drink regular milk.

Well, since she's already getting older, i'd just wait and switch her to real milk at a year. Don't bother with the whole switching thing.
Love,

Is she doing fine on the soy milk? If so why do you want to change it?

I say that since she is doing fine on the soy milk that you shouldnt change it. I mean she is already obviously adjusted to the soy and you wouldnt want it to mess up her system and see her in pain. I think that I would wait until she is a year to switch her to regular milk. But I would like to say this. When you are eating give her a couple sips of your milk, shell like it!! I do it for sean when I am eating, he likes oj too!!
