Transitioned to Soy!!

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I haven’t been around for a little while…I was laying low waiting out this soy milk transition, but I think it’s worked! At first Dagney seemed to be clearing her throat a lot, but I’d say after day 5 or so that went away! She’s taking in about 15 ounces of soy milk now (still mixed with a bit of Nutramigen, so I didn’t waste it!). I’m SO excited! We’re going to keep her on soy for a few weeks, then maybe around Thanksgiving we’ll start trialing foods with dairy in them! I haven’t posted anything for a while because I didn’t want to jinx it, but I figure we’ve been going through this process for 2 weeks now, and she’s almost 100% soy milk, so I thought I could mention it now! YIPPEE!!

That’s great news!!! Hailey’s also on soy. Everytime I try to give her regular milk, she gets terrible gas. (Not sure if that’s normal or not!). Glad everything is going well. Good luck moving on to whole milk.

That is great news. We are about to try a transition from Nutramigen to Gentelase in a few weeks after we trial some more solids so I like to hear good news with transitions, it makes me feel better about trying a change myself. I hope it continues.

Good luck with the trial. I was a little nervous those first few days when she was clearing her throat a lot, it could have been her body getting used to the soy protein, or it could have been teething…or allergies…you never know, but thankfully it stopped! Just keep all that in mind when you try your trial!!

Great news Denise. Alana is also fully on soy and we are starting to do more and more hidden dairy. So far so good. Goodluck with your dairy trial.
