Hello All!

I’ve been a lurker here for a while and have learnt quite a lot about MSPI from everyone here. Thanks for the same.

My DD was diagnosed with MSPI at 4 weeks and has been on NeoCate since.

She just turned 1 and our GI finally gave the go-ahead to try Soy. We started crumbled Tofu, a bit of cheese and one feeding of Silk (6oz) yesterday. She didnt throw up nor did we notice any immediate physical changes. I have a few questions and hoping one of you will be able to answer.

1. Is Silk brand Soy Milk safe to give to infants?

2. She seemed fine so far, but been very gassy. Does this mean she is adjusting to it or she is being intolerant? No vomitings yet – which is good I gues.

3. How do we introduce more food for her?

4. Any other thoughts/suggestions or info on foods we can offer?

Thanks much in advance,

LMNN

IMHO, I would be careful of how many different new foods you introduce at one time. If a reaction does occur, it would be hard to tell which one she is reacting to.

if you go to the upper right-hand corner of the screen & click on ‘search’

use keywords: finger foods

then choose ‘all forums’

and choose ‘6 months and OLDER’ from the drop-down menu

you will find a lot

Thanks – yes, I know how to search and did a search on the forums before I posted. The Key is to search for MSPI which I did very promptly. Search is not exactly accurate.

The finger foods question was more to find out from folks who have tried to see if there is any other option besides Tofu and Soy cheese which do not have even Soy oils in them. I found what i was looking for by digging through old posts – which I expected the “Search” to return the results of, but it didnt.

Thanks for posting anyways.

silk brand is fine.. try and get the one with the most fats. what i’d might do is use a step 2 toddler SOY formula instead??

and… we tried soy at 11 mos and we knew it was a no go because of crankiness and mucous.

Thanks Shanesmom. Sorry to hear that Soy was a no-go for you. We are just past the 1 week mark and so far so good. The gassiness reduced and she seems to be doing fine. We are giving Silk twice a day now with Tofu in between. 1 more week to go before the poop test, so keeping our fingers crossed.
