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

[Janie]

Could you try eating/drinking soy yourself? Or does she only react when she consumes the protein directly? (Have we had this conversation before???). When you talk about changing the family foods, do you mean for yourself (because you're breastfeeding her) or for when she starts to join in?

If you do end up having to try her with soy formula, don't stress yourself. It's not like you have to give it to her all the time, it's just for a test. If she was FF, then sure, you would look at an elemental formula, but she's not, so you don't have to worry about that .

ETA Parenting a child with food issues is a big gig. Don't be hard on yourself, and remember that it's not an immediate process, sometimes it can take time. It's okay to be frustrated, and totally normal. The soy thing is tough, because some kids will react to that too. I actually think rice milk works brilliantly in alot of cooking, and I now much prefer it over soy. But that took time, and it was only because I was forced to change that I kept on going with it. I remember Christy saying that it's a lengthy process to change a family's food habits, and she was right. I honestly think it can take up to two years, or even more, to totally get your head around it. But I promise you, you will get there
