Why soy infant formula is one of the absolute worst foods your baby

[ciara.e]

Charmalea, my dd was the same. She's dairy gluten citrus (fructose) and yeast allergic. Diagnosed very early and put on prescription formula in the end. Soy was found to be intolerant as an infant but she seemed to grow into it ok which is why we used it (although we tried not to use it all the time). I have used mostly rice milk where possible, but the prob was growth with her which is why we switched back to soy milk. Grrr!! it's all so frustrating! Just when you feel like you're doing the right thing.. BAM!!

I would have liked to just breast feed and be done with it.. but she was allergic to it! And here's the funny part... I don't eat dairy myself nor did i consume any of her allergens??? Must have been all the vitamins i was trying to top up on.

But like all the ladies are saying.. we can't beat ourselves up over it. BellyBelly is soo right.. we can only do the best job we know how to do as parents... there isn't a manual for it unfortunately, and even if there was.. i'm sure it wouldn't cover all of this.

the government aren't interested in helping us in keeping healthy 'naturally'... they're more into the chemicals that they earn their big dollars on, and medications. I'm growing my own organic vegies at home for our food... just wish there was enough time, and energy, to be able to do it all myself... minus the soy part now.

happy new years ladies
