Non-dairy, Non-soy baby formula?

I hate that we're resorting to this, but I'm unable to pump hardly any milk (an oz at a time :( ) and we need something for DD for bedtime if I'm not going to be around.  Are there any (preferably organic), non-dairy, non-soy baby formulas?  Where can I find it?

Re: Non-dairy, Non-soy baby formula?

  • The non-dairy, non-soy formulas are disgusting.  My supply dried up when I got pg again, and we had to resort to the hypoallergenic formulas because DD is allergic to both dairy and soy.  As far as I am aware, there are very few choices, and I believe Similac Alimentum (definitely not organic) is the only one available in stores.  The others, Nutramigen and Elecare, have to be ordered online.  We tried Alimentum, and it smelled and tasted so bad that DD refused to drink anymore after about four days.  I never bothered trying the others because I had read that they were also foul.  DD drinks goat's milk now.

    Thanks!  We know she's sensitive to dairy, but don't know about soy.  I'd rather her not be on soy because of the growth hormone issues, but I think we'll try it for the every-now-and-then that we'll need it.  We found that Earth's Best makes an organic one, so unless someone recommends against it, we'll try it. 

  • Not organic, and they literally stink, but Alimentum and Nutramigen.  Babies apparently prefer alimentum according to our pedi.
