thanks for your help. Only place I have seen it for sell is in boots and thats over 8 miles from me!
if u have any questions about weaning or anything then u can always ask me, and i'll be happy to help xx
Lizzie has horridly sore skin and her nappies were just getting worse and worse and thenb over last 48 hours she was becoming so unsettled after her bottles!
Im nowhere near weaning at the moment but i will put out a post for you when we get there!lol
The gp we saw today was very helpful so hopefully if the milk starts to help her then the reveiw will go well!
thanks again for your help
jsut a heads up, but nothing to worry over, in babies under 6 months old they can become intolerant to soya too as it is a similar protein to cows milk, not always, but sometimes, just so u know, if she does improve and then go backwards again that it can jsut be that, and if this does happen there are plenty of other milks available, just soya is the only one tahts truely dairy free...it happened to ds, he was fantastic on the soya for about a month, then he started slipping back again, although no where near as bad as before, he was taken off the soya and put on nutrimagen for 2 weeks, but this made it even worse, so back on the soya at 6 months, and from then on he was fine with it...just thought i'd let u know so that u don't panic, as i did really worry as nobody had warned me prior so thought he was really ill, but babies 6m+ can tolerate soya, its just before 6m some cows milk inotelrant babies do develop a soya intolerance, nothing bharmful, just very anoying when u don't know lol. but like i say, he's been fine on it since then, and now has soya cheese, yoghurts etc no problem at all...infact he's showed no signs of his intolerance since then, except he's till got a tiny bit of eczema, but again nothing that bothers him. xx
