We are trying SOY MILK

mckayleesmom wrote: with Russell.....I have been trying to wean him off of formula for about a week now...I have tried before too and he just isn't having it. I noticed this week that everytime I give him milk before bedtime...those are the nights that he wakes up crying with really bad gas pains...Dh suggested that maybe his little tummy wasn't tolerating the milk. So this morning I went and got soy milk...so far he likes it...We will see if he pitches a fit tonight.

I was talking to Mckaylee's friends mom and she said that her daughter couldn't handle whole milk or 2 %...Only 1% or skim...Anything else would give her bad gas or make her throw up.

AlexsPajamaMama replied: aww poory little guy! Good luck with the switch, hope he handles it better!

mckayleesmom replied: Oh...its also lactaid Soy Milk.....

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: Matt was on soy for a while then started drinking milk w/o a problem

and neither of my kids have ever been good with whole Milk...Katy did really well on 2% when she turned one, and Matt got there by about 14 months

kayla's mama replied: Hope you have a good night tonight and the milk switch works for you.

I wonder if maybe I should switch Kayla to soy or something else...

ediep replied: my firends son was the same way with milk, he drinks lactaid milk now and has no problems !!

CantWait replied: Hope it works out.

jacobsmama replied: Awww I hope the switch goes better with the soy...Good for him that he drinking it because I have heard that it taste bad, must not be that bad

ilovemybaby replied: I hope he does better on the soy milk. Yuck I remember once my mother bought me a tin of soy milk formula for Abby and I am sooo glad I don't have to give her soy. She was still spilling at that age and it was extra stinky. I can't stand the smell of soy milk.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I love soy milk. Especially the vanilla flavored one - we don't buy it usually, unless I get a craving... cuz I can drink the entire carton in one day.

holley79 replied: Good luck to you. I hope that it works.

huggybugboy replied: Miles had really bad gas with the whole milk for about a week or two. I only noticed it at night when he would wake up just screaming. But then it went away. I'm not sure if his body just had to adjust to it or what.
