switching formula

Christee25 · May 2013

My ped wants DS on soy based formula b/c of severe gas. She said I could switch him cold turkey or mix w/ regular formula for a few days. I said ok and went on my way. Now I'm at home and don't know which to do!? I'm super indecisive and wish she would have told me one way or another. Still sticking w/ Similac brand, just moving from regular to sensitive. Any thoughts on which way is best?

Does your baby adapt well to change? If so just quit cold turkey. Also, we're on Similac soy and its incredible. We love it and that's coming from having nursed for 3 months.

Where do you buy similac soy? costco doesnt sell it!! The grocery store does but its super expensive. Haven't made it to walmart or target yet.

Target is the cheapest by .50. Do you have a BRU near you? They're currently having a formila sale, 24.99. Cheapest of anywhere.

My LO went from similac advance to soy. I bought it at Walmart. We just switched cold turkey. She had no issues with that.

Butting in here... do you guys who are using soy have any constipation issues? I've tried Isomil, Prosobee and every generic soy formula that I can find and DD is still always constipated.
