Hi Stacey

I don’t get to come out here as often as I wish and I missed that Hailey is drinking Milk now. YEA!!!! With all your great advise I switched Emma to Alimentum some time ago and it was the best thing I ever did. Just curious when you did the switch and what milk did you go to & of course how she did? (Sorry for all the questions but our girls have a lot in common in that area)

One more thing. I am using your frosting recipe for Emma’s 1st b-day cake. What confectioners sugar did you use? (I posted today about this to) I was trying to find a corn free but it is harder than what I thought.

Hi Brandy! Hailey just stopped drinking Alimentum about a month ago so at 18 months. She was still having 2 bottles a day up until she decided to wean herself off of a bottle. We had trialed dairy beginning at a year and still had a lot of problems (such as fussiness and stool problems), plus she would never actually drink milk. She would only occationally eat yogurt and cheese. We’ve gone off and on dairy quite a few times but never see any differences so now she’s back on it and doing very well. She didn’t tolerate whole milk products very well but is now drinking 2% milk and doing great. She’s up to drinking about 4 oz of 2% chocolate milk on her own! I hope to slowly wean her from chocolate to regular.

About the sugar, I just used regular powdered sugar. We didn’t have any issues with corn so I didn’t worry about it. Have you checked with your local health foods store?

Thanks Stacey. I have checked at our health food store and they have organic sugar but it still has corn in it. I don’t know if she has a allergy/intolerance to corn, I just didn’t want to find out. I am just taking this trialing thing really slow with Emma. All I know for sure she has is a soy intolerance. I have never seen any external allergy to anything. I don’t even know if she has a milk intolerance. When we switched her to Alimentum her reflux was horrible and we don’t know if the milk was a problem or if it was aggravating her reflux or if it was just reflux alone this whole time. I am just scared right now to find out. I love listening to your story, it always brings hope that if she did have a true problem to milk that someday it won’t be so bad. YEA HAILEY!!
