My daughter who was breastfeed in the beginning then we tried regular formula and gentlease she had bad reactions to both hives upset tummy projectile vomiting so she went to soy and breast then just formula since i was pumping and not getting much and can only tolerate soy at this point she has had some dairy here and there some ice cream, yogurt etc so when we switch to milk will it be soy? And if you got WIC do they cover it?

Thanks

in my experience, yes wic will let you substitute things with a doc saying you need it.  but I don' tknow for sure about soy and its probably different in every state.

Once she's a year WIC will provide soy milk with a pediatrician request...at least in CA they do...

Well, I don't know how old she is, but wait for the mil****il she's a year. WIC should cover soy milk with a Dr's order (in some states) if it's medically necessary.

But, my 1st son required soy formula as a baby and he transitioned to regular milk just fine when he did switch. When your baby turns one, you might try her on regular milk. If she can handle ice cream and yogurt with no reaction then she probably does not have a true milk allergy. You can try her on some and see if she does have an issue with it. Maybe just an oz. at a time until you know for sure. Tiny infants react to more things. Their little systems are more sensitive and it may not have been the milk base in the formula at all that causes her issues.

Ask her ped. about it if you're still unsure. They may suggest you try the regular cow's milk first to see if she has a true milk allergy before they want you to go the soy route. Good luck to you!
