soya formula

[hermykne]

am trying to get ds to take, he is now 6mths and i need to start to wean him, but he really dislikes this soya stuff - not to fond of it myself - do i just keep going and percivere, giving it to him at tea time with an aim for the 10pm feed, i feed him at 7.

any tips?

portree thank you very much, i am going to doctors tomorrow so armed with all this info i should get him to refer etcetc.
ds was great today and i only had to feed him myself this morn at 7 and tonight at 7, i expressed for the afternoon feed at 2. so thats ok, and i'll feed him again at 10 or so.
so his feeds are decreasing.
its really for emergencies that ienvisage will happen that dont!!

A friend of mine has a daughter who is 1 year old. The baby has had terrible bronchitis and is very snotty(!) and so they switched her from cows milk to soya milk. It isnt a powder but from a box in liquid form. My question is, can she stay on this permanently or would she be better back on the cows milk once her congestion has cleared up.

She asked me to ask you wise Mumsnetters!

collison i am not an expert in this field but she could probably stay on it, my dd now jst over 2, is still on formula because if she takes cows milk she gets all gucky too, its a pain, but she only has it in the morn and even and she'll eventually give it up.

cows milk is terrible for catarrh etc, i had to take goats milk as a child to get cows out of system and reintroduce minimally.

Thanks hermykne. I will tell her. Put me out of my misery and tell me how to pronounce your name. I jst cant say it!!

its the phoenitic spelling of it - hermione as in her my knee or correctly her my on ee - harry potter cured alot of people!!!!

Thank you...I was reading it as Her-mick-ner!! or Her-mike-nee!!
