right i will try to keep it short.
my ds is 13 months, coming up to 14.
for six months he was really sicky and once we got to six months he stopped being six so much but he constantly filled his nappies.
i did speak to dr and hv about it and was told it was nothing.
anyway when he got to twelve months we changed him off formula to cows milk and it just went crazy!!! he was being sick again, really bad in the night and the nappies were worse.
after speaking to a friend i realised that he could be milk intolerant.
so we switched him to soya and now he has one bottle of milk a day and his cereal made with soya. we still use normal butter and i limit him to three yoghurts a week (this is a recent thing as one a day was not good), all home cooking is done with normal milk. this balance has been worked out with trial and error and it seems to be working.
anyway i was speaking to a friend and she took her son to the drs as after speaking to me she thought her 10 month old might be the same. the dr said he maybe and that they are going to do more tests. he then stated that he should not have soya as it could make him infertile.
now i went to the drs about ds and i was told that what i was fdoing sounded ok and that was that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now i did research soya and i know it is hotly debated and that there are issues etc etc but my friends dr sounds a little heavy handed.
now i am really confused and worried really!!
i have to say since he has been on soya he has been a different baby. he fills a nappy once/twice a day and it is much more solid. he is much more settled. eats loads and has gained loads of weight! he was always a scrap but now seems to be a better size for his age.
