Soy Formula to Whole Milk

you can try give him soy milk it's what my kids drink they have a lot of gas with whole milk

I just recently switched my son off of soy formula. I started by using soy milk first and doing half and half with his formula then I started mixing half soy milk and half whole milk during the day. After about a week or so I put him on regular milk and he's done fine ever since. I know right before I switched my son I was told about a lot of female hormones in soy formula and milk. I did a little research and apparently there are some new studies you may want to look into. Hope this helps.

Hi,
My son was a soy baby as well and he made the change to whole milk fine for the first 6mos. Then at 18mos the gas and the crankiness came back (like when he was an infant) so I switched him back to soymilk (organic silk) and he is fine. I checked with his doctor and she said it was fine and that I could also offer rice milk as well. (My son isn't lactose intolerant as he eats icecream and cheese but just has a very hard time tolerating whole milk)
Good Luck :)

You should be able to call your pediatrician and leave a VM on the nurses line with your questions/concerns. It's what the doctor's office is there for, right? They shouldn't charge you for a phoned in question.

Good luck!

when I transitioned my boys from soy formula to whole milk I did it at about a year. I started out mixing it then just giving it to them in their cups straight. they still got some formula in their bottle before bed for a bit. We had no problems with the switch

Both my daughter's took soy and when we switched the mto whole milk, they were fine! I think I used lactose free first (for a month or so) and then the whole milk. no problems, and you could start now if you want. I had mine off by 11 months due to a vacation and our pediatrician said it wa sfine.
