am i crazy??

no. i wouldnt want to use soy either. that is just me though. i would do either almond or rice , though neocate would be ideal. he prob wouldnt drink that though right?

You are not crazy. You need to do what you feel comfortable with as his mommy. If soy isn’t right for you then you shouldn’t have him on it. It’s not worth the added stress. As Natalia suggested, talk to a nutritionist and see what your options are. Remember there is always goats milk! I know you were wanting to try that anyway…

You have to do what’s right for you both. If you can’t sleep at night and are having anxiety attacks, then I’d try something different.

if you are crazy, so am I because I do the same thing. If you are not comfortable with it, then it is not worth it IMHO. Seth never did well with soy but to be honest even if he did, I would have been concerned giving it to him in large amounts too. Hopefully, you will find another alternative.

You guys are too funny! But seriously, do what makes you comfortable. If soy is causing you stress, find something else. I do give Brianna organic cheese and milk, and we buy some organic fruit (mostly the ones like apples that have all that resin on the outside) but I try not to read too much on stuff.

I was talking with my prego friend the other day and her gyn told her not to worry about caffine, but NO aspertame…splenda in any amount was OK. My Dr. said aspertame and splenda were both OK, but no more than one a day. He said decaf coffee was bad. My other (prego) friend doesn’t do decaf because of chemicals used to make it decafinated. I know those are pregnant woman, but it just got me thinking about how there is so much conflicting information out there that you jsut have to go with what your gut says is right.

LOL!… and I thought I worried! (Christine, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that washes fruit with fruit wash).

I think that partly the internet world is a cause of great information, but also great worry. You can find problems with anything that you search about. It’s too stressful, and often not warranted. The funny thing is that the stress is probably worse than anything else.

I really think that you have to do whatever makes you comfortable. My mil assures me that children in Japan are fed a lot of soy and soy milk and they are not any less healthy than children in North America.

Sometimes I catch myself stressing over things that I can’t change, and wonder what I’m going to do when the kids are in high school and I have to worry about drugs, sex, and scary people!

Anyhow, good luck in your decision. I’m sure you’ll make the right one.

Good luck with the goat milk! I think it’s a good idea to give it a try now too. I hope it does the trick for Shane and will be the end of your search for something that works!
