Wysoy - URGENT advice needed.
Morning ladies
I'm in desperate need of advice. Daniel is 10 weeks and it's suspected he is lactose intolerant. Doc has sent off two poo samples for testing and prescribed Wysoy to try in the meantime. I've been Reading that it should not be given to kids under 6 months and can even cause infertility in boys!!!! I've requested from docs that they give him Nutramigen (tried ds1 on this 3 years ago and he hated it as it tastes and smells vile!) and I'm worried he won't have it and I'll have no choice but for him to have wysoy. I'm also panicking cos ds1 had wysoy and feel shit that I may have caused him damage giving him it!! What should I do re Daniel? I'm really hoping results come back and he's not LI, but with both DS1 and I being LI until we were 3 I'm really stressing out. Please someone slap me!!!
I'm so confused atm.
Thanks ladies.

My friend thought & was told her baby was lactose intolerant & was put onto soy she is now just over 4 months & back on regular formula & is fine, personally i reckon if she was lactose intolerant 3 months ago she still would be now but clearly not if regular formula is agreeing with her now. That was a long roundabout way of saying perhaps he;s not totally intolerant just needs a bit of help digesting large amounts or not as much as is in regular. I have read recently that a lot of lactose intolerant babies are wrongly diagnosed just like my friends.
worth a shot :?
hope you get sorted.

Worked really well with LO and when she was one she was able to have cow's milk straight away - we slowly introduced dairy when weaning (i.e. cheese and yoghurts).
Would definitely try SMA LF.
Thank you all so much for your advice. When I'm struggling with what to do I always say to DH 'I'll ask the girls on the forum, they'll know just what to do'
