This is what I put:<br />"She didn't start on almond milk until I learned how bad soy milk was... I think she was 6 or 7 years old by then (yikes!!)."<br /><br />Since my dd doesn't have an allergy per se but rather an issue with insufficient enzymes (galactase) I couldn't use any other type of dairy, nor nurse her myself. Thus the soy recommendation by the pediatrician. Had I known the issues with UNfermented soy I would've stopped all soy immediately following weaning. I don't really know what other options I would have had for formula since I couldn't make the alternatives with goat milk, etc.<br /><br />So, unfortunately I don't know that I can give good insight on an alternative for your baby since I ignorantly gave her soy for a year and then soy milk for 5 or 6 more years. She seriously looked malnourished (skinny arms, pot-belly), had bags under her eyes, and was dragging through the day after 10 am. Once we quit soy her stamina changed, her body shape changed, and her bags under her eyes disappeared (until this summer with our insane schedule and lack of routine).<br /><br />Are you needing some alternatives before weaning? I think there is a recipe in Nourishing Traditions or I can help hunt one down for you - just let me know.<br /><br />Oh, on the positive side for my dd - she can have dairy products so she gets plenty of yogurt and kefir and cottage cheese, etc. If you need alternatives for those let me know.Bamboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994594297936498029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588932453570504602.post-74692939761443619632011-08-09T10:35:42.507-07:002011-08-09T10:35:42.507-07:00HI Beth!

If this is you - I would LOVE to connect as I have a 10 month old. I'm just wondering if you gave your baby an alternative to cow milk due to intolerance and how it went.<br /><br />Thank you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
