Will Aubree not be able to drink milk?

Since she is on the soy formula... when she turns 1 should I even try to give her regular whole milk?  Or should I just go directly to soy milk?

both of my daughters were on soy formula and switched to milk at one with no problem.  ask your doctor, but probably going to be ok.

Same with me Allie was on soy then at 1 went to whole milk fine.

Ethan was on soy formula and He did not like the taste of Milk! So we had him on Soy milk for a little bit (1.5y) and then switched to milk. He still to this day doesnt like milk all that much!

If you look at walmart, they have a newer formula out and you can start giving it to babies at 9months of age, its called Next step. I think. and its for baby who are on soy and it gets them ready for milk, I think. It has more milk base, i believe. Check it out. Ask your dr. I will be doing the same!!

My daughter is allergic to milk and eggs, she's now 4 and she has been totally fine and healthy without milk, so dont worry too much about it if she cant have it...
Good luck!

Never mind My wrong about the next step! But i think they should make something like that! LOL

My sisters kids are both lactose intolerant and were on soy formula as babies. She switched both of them to milk at 1 and neither of them have had a problem. Whole milk is so important for babies since it has all the fat in it and fat is what makes the babies brain grow and develop.

Babies usually outgrow their lactose intolerance rather quickly. My son was on soy formula and the transition to milk went just fine. Good luck!

Mine was also on soy, he handled the transition perfectly, no problems, as babypooh said they usually out grow the intolerance very quickly! Good luck!

DD was on soy formula so we tried regular whole milk and she didn't like it.  She was fine with lactose free and then we gradually moved to her regular milk.  Now she's fine with it.  Transition her slowly.  I used to mix formula and milk (eg. 6 oz formula-2 oz milk, 4 oz formula-4 oz milk, etc).
