Formual question

Hi...

I just started to supplement with Soy formula (DD was allergic to cow's milk).  I started on Sunday and have gradually increasing how much I give.  I have been doing 4oz the past 2 days and I am noticing DD's cheeks are starting to look rashy and she has a few small red dots on her belly, do you think this is from the formula?  I guess, does it take a few days to show up if she is allergic?  Poops have been a little runny, but nothing that is really concerning, everything else has been good.

Re: Formual question

  • I would call your doctor if the issues don't clear up in a few days. It could be the milk is still in her system, or that she is allergic to soy too, which is pretty common. My daughter is constipated from soy, which usually happens vs runny poop.

  • DS was constipated from soy too. Check with your doctor. Sounds like it could be an allergy.
  • I have read that 60% of babies with milk protein allergies are also allergic to soy.  Maybe try a formula with neither.
