soy formula?

We had to switch dd from similac advance to similac soy due to her being very gassey and having a little refux. Anyone had a dc that was on soy formula was there any issues when you had to wean then to whole milk?

Re: soy formula?

  • J was on soy b/c of a lactose intolerance. I weaned her to whole milk over 4 weeks and she didn't have any problem. She was already eating things produced with milk that she wasn't having any reactions to when I made her transition.

    N is on soy, and I don't anticipate an issue. She's only on soy b/c of J's intolerance & how soon she needed her bowel surgery.

    if YD is still having issues with lactose/milk based products, I wouldn't try to make the jump to whole milk. I'd start with a soy milk until you noticed she wasn't having issues with other milk based products (cheese, yogurt etc)

  • Our 3 1/2 year old was on soy formula from 2 months until she was weaned at 11 months. I am happy to let you know she has no issues with milk/milk products now. Our pedi says this is common with most children. Good luck!
  • Thanks ladies. I was just curious bc dd#1 was on similac advanced and had no isses and now this one we had to switch to the soy formula so I was just worried that maybe when it came time to wean her she would have an issue with the whole milk/milk products.
