Babies on Soy formula
TJ has been on soy formula for about 2 months. Did you ever try to indroduce (in my case reintroduce) a non soy formula? He was on gentlease, newborn & advance prior but they just didn't agree with him. I am uneasy about soy b/c I keep hearing that babies on soy are more likely to develop a peanut allergy than babies on a milk based formula. I would NEVER just switch w/o consulting his pedi 1st, I just want some personal experiences. I'm sure I'm overthinking this.
Re: Babies on Soy formula
We never had A on soy based formula, but I have heard the same thing about it that you did.
Is he having lots of tummy issues? (That pic of him sleeping on the bumboo was adorable). You could ask your pedi about trying him on hypoallergenic formula (Similac Alimentum or Enfamil Nutramigen). It did wonders for A.
Bonus: if he does well on it it may be 100% covered by your insurance. It was for us, but I know Smilee couldn't get insurance coverage for it so it varies based on your insurance I guess.
Teaghan has been on soy formula since about 2 months and we have introduced peanuts per the pediatrician and she so far has no allergies to any food we have tried.
He also said that we should not have any problems introducing whole milk in a month. When her tummy troubles seem to end when we switched to soy I considered trying to switch back to a non soy and the pedi said I could if I wanted but since the soy was working for her that I should probably just stay with it.
Paige was on soy formula for many months.
She does not have any allergies, to nuts or milk, thus far.
We hadn't tried to change it after the soy because it really seemed to be the only thing that worked for her....
