Which Soy Milk to Try?

when we tried it… we did the silk soy regular flavored one. the vanilla’s have more sugar. he really did like it though! make sure you get the one that says enriched w/vitamins on it…and make sure they are atleast 4 grams of fat per serving..some go as little as 2.5.

I’m not sure that I would go to soy if you are eventually hoping for whole milk. I think that I’d just stick with nutramigen until you’re ready for milk.

We did “so good”. I’ve drank them all, and really it’s the one that tastes the best. If you do hope to get her on regular milk, you want to wait it out on the nutramigen, and then try going right to milk. We started Hailey on soy when she was 9 months old out of desperation, and now she WILL NOT have anything to do with regular milk. They tried giving her a bit at her daycare yesterday, and when it was dinner time she said “I no like dat milk”.

thats funny, a lot of doctors think that. I guess there are alot of times that children can do soy and not dairy… but still in many cases they cant do either. Shane couldnt do either. I would def. at least TRY the dairy… before going to the soy.. a lot of ped’s recommend dairy first.. then soy second. SO .. i would keep the bottle personally.. i would switch the milk into the bottle … and then down the road switch to cups. Thats if you arent in a rush to get rid of the bottles… if you are then i am not sure how to do it..since Shane still gets 3 bottles a day.

Carson is just over 2 and still takes Neocate. It tastes and smells horrible! He WILL drink it from a bottle before his nap and before bedtime – never will touch it from a cup. Specialist says that the nipple placement puts the neocate back far enough in his mouth that it by-passes many taste buds and just goes down. Also, with a bottle, you don’t get much of a smell.
