I just switched him right over to milk. He was never on soy so I have no ideas on that one.

It's like anything else you just have to watch for the first few days. I use 1% milk also. JMO -------------------- Mommy to two wonderful boys!

The hair I wish I had...lol Group: Members Posts: 21,560 Member No.: 157 Joined: 4-May 03	My mom has had 5 kids and she said that she mixed breast milk with regular milk around 6 months and gradually less and less breast milk. She said that was the age they reccomended back then to start, but I think they want you to breastfeed longer now,,,so Im going to ask my doctor. -------------------- Brianne Wife to Leithan and mommy to Mckaylee (4) and Russell (3) Click here to help us grown our village http://schwartzville.myminicity.com/

Me too, Me too!!

So, yes, it has changed a LOT - go BF!! teehee -------------------- Beverly, DH Eje, and mom to PJ, 20 Leah, 18 Sara, 16 Anders, 5 and Emily, almost 2 "A mother holds her children's hands for just a little while, but she holds their hearts forever."
