I want to be conscious of all the issues with Nestle but wasn't 100% sure which brand to avoid.. can someone help.
I am going to e-mail some formula companies and ask them for SAMPLES of soy formula for me to test DD on due to her allergies.
The MCHN does NOT stock samples anymore and i am not paying $30 for a tin of formula i possibly wont be able to use.
I have seen the thread on SOY formula and have asked questions there regarding it's use but in the meantime was wondering what brands i can go to that are NOT nestle companies.
Do you know what she is allergic to in the diary? Two of mine were allergic to the lactose not milk protein so we use s26 LF. They also have soy and goats milk. The company that produces it is Wyeth, but I think the use GM soy so that may be no good for you.
I am not 100% sure, she has had the skin ***** test done and is not to have ANY dairy at all, she is anaphylactic (sp?) after a reaction to yoghurt.
She is also borderline for nuts & eggs... PITA child
ZF, I'm surprised your allergist/doctor didn't offer you a script for an elemental formula, if the allergy is that serious. My best gf's DS had severe allergies to dairy, eggs and nuts and they used an elemental formula (on prescription, and much cheaper, btw) for him until he was older. He grew out of his dairy and egg allergy by about age two.
I don't think they offered anything as she is still fully BF.. i intend to continue to BF her but the Dr wanted me to test her on soy for in cooking and for once she's over a yr old for IF we decide to wean etc.
Dr said not to introduce rice milk until after 12mths and to use soy milk in cooking but i wasn't allowed to just test her straight up with soy milk i had to test her allergy with soy formula.. does that make sense?
Not really lol
Rice milk contains no dairy etc. Did he say why not to use it until after 12 mnths? You wouldn't be replacing her BF with milk, only usingit for cooking.
Silly me, didn't read your sig. Only noticed you'd posted in the ffing section... Sorry!
Have you had to cut dairy out of your diet?
It might be worth getting her re-tested if/when you want to wean, to see if she is still allergic. A dairy allergy is something that a LO can grow out of. Nut allergy is generally with you for life, but dairy could be resolved.
I would be asking again about the rice milk, especially when the first lot of solids are rice based anyway. It's tricky trying to sort out what is best for them.
I have no idea, he said not to introduce it until after 12mths, also not to introduce soy milk as a 'drink' on it's own until after 12mths but for now to test her on soy formula, if she tolerates it then i can use it in cooking for all of us.
Hmmmmmmmmm i wonder.
She eats rice so theres no issue there
No nestle - soy formula
