Alimentum/nutramigen to soy formula?

I have been using half Alimentum and hale bm bottles for about 4 months now. I reintroduced soy into my diet and C seems to be doing well. My supply is starting to tank bc I only pump, so Jews curious if anyone had success switching to soy formula? Thanks....sorry I mostly lurk on this board, but am so glad y'all are here! I too have a wheat and corn allergy and am open to questions!

    was he ever tested positive for soy or was it just something you figured out on your own?

    I would eat soy for at least a month before introducing it directly to your LO.

    If he's getting soy via your breastmilk and doing ok, that doesn't necessarily mean he'd do OK on soy formula. He gets "trace amounts" through you while he'll get the straight-up real thing from formula. I agree with the pp. Keep soy in your diet for a month and see how he tolerates it, and then maybe try a soy formula.
