That whole article is written like irresponsible click-bait journalism. After raising four kids I can take shit like this with a grain of salt, but as a new parent I would've freaked out and overreacted.
When two of my kids were babies they had bad reactions to normal formula, and weren't gaining enough weight with breastmilk. Soy formula was the only other option and not giving it to them likely would've been worse than any hormone issues.
- bitJericho 9y agoSame here. My son couldn't hold down a bottle. Soy was the only option for him and he turned out fine.
- delinka 9y agoMy daughter couldn't even have soy milk. Nutramigen is where we ended up for her. Stuff's expensive, but it worked well for her.
- gautamdivgi 9y agoOne of my kids was allergic to soy and caesin (not lactose). So, we had to go on a hunt for low caesin/caesin free formulas, which aren't available readily in the US. We found this one called HiP organic which satisfied our need - it's a German brand.
- nikolay 9y agoIt's "casein", not "caesin".
- CodeWriter23 9y agoNo, the other option was to ignore the pediatrician with his one size fits all weight gain curve and continue breastfeeding. We told our ped to talk to the hand unless they could demonstrate a REAL problem. Kid is the smartest 8-yo I've seen.
