Avatar m tn Is soy formula safe to give baby boys? I have heard that there are hormones in it.
Avatar f tn Soy is bad for boys though it has estrogen in it. Do a google search on soy products and boys.
Avatar f tn Some babies just spit up no matter what. My second and third are big spitters but they are perfectly healthy. As long as baby is gaining weight and doesn't seem to be in discomfort I wouldn't worry about it. Also I don't like soy baby formula because it has a form of estrogen in it from the soy itself and I don't think its good for babies. If baby seems like there is pain when spitting up it could be that he has reflux and needs to be put on a med like zantac.
Avatar f tn So I just got back from my sons pediatrician appt and basically she was saying what everyone has said its kinda making me upset I love my son more then anything in the world nd they keep saying just breastfeed every 2 hours no formula now she is saying the formula is notdigisting in his stomach if his poop smells has anyone heard of that?
418700 tn?1212682049 New studies have however raised questions over whether the ingredients in soy might increase the risk of breast cancer in some women, affect brain function in men and lead to hidden developmental ab-normalities in infants. The core of their concerns rests with the chemical makeup of soy: in addition to all the nutrients and protein, soy contains a natural chemical that mimics estrogen, the female hormone. Some studies in animals show that this chemical can alter sexual development.

Avatar f tn I think that we all need to be careful with some of the herbal products in so far as we often don't know where our levels are of hormones. For instance, we can load up on products that stimulate estrogen (such as soy and other herbal preps) which can upset a balance needed between estrogen and progesterone. During menopause, both levels drop but, progesterone drops the most. So, while our estrogen levels fall by a certain percentage, our progesterone may drop far more.
10515800 tn?1419227034 Estrogen based birth control is what dries most women up. There are several estrogen free options including the "mini pill" (progesterone only rather than combination), depo provera shot, and one or two iuds.
Avatar f tn Babies will eat until they're full and then they stop. But, sometimes a baby will eat to be soothed. It sounds like the cool milk must feel good on her tummy but then she ends up paying for it with pain because she's so full. I would have to research this because it's been awhile but a month old baby usually drinks about 4 ounces every 3 to 4 hours. That would be at most 24 ounces in 24 hours. Yes, I agree. Your grand daughter is getting too much formula.
10084709 tn?1407712389 I will only give him coconut and almond though because soy milk has estrogen in it so no soy in our house.
8541403 tn?1409425380 Are you breat feeding? Baby could be allergic to what you are feed them?
939489 tn?1260887943 Also, I dont know if i should purchase some before the baby is born or wait to see which formula the hospital gives him. Grrr. And thats just one of the many things on my mind. lol. :-) Good luck Everyone. I AM SO EXCITED FOR ALL OF US!!!!!
Avatar f tn As far as switching formulas, similac does make a sensitive and Enfamil actually has a new one called reguline which is made to reduce constipation, however all changes in formula should be discussed with your pediatrician.
Avatar f tn Hey ladies, I have a quick question... I was wondering is it okay to bring your own formula to the hospital when u go in to deliver? Because when my first daughter was born I didn't bring any formula I just used what the hospital had n they gave me good start formula, I didn't care for it as much but since that is what my daughter started on I didn't want to switch. This time I want to use enfamil. So my question is.... Is it ok to bring your own formula to the hospital?
Avatar n tn What formula did you start your baby with or what kind of formula are you planning on giving your baby for those that are not planning on doing doing exclusive breastfeeding?
Avatar f tn I got 9 cans of formula a month with my first. And when baby is old enough rice cereal and baby food! Wic was a life saver when my milk didn't come in.
Avatar f tn I want to breastfeed when I have my baby. Do all babies need formula? Will I have to stop breast feeding then give them formula? Or do I breastfeed until they eat table food?
Avatar f tn My milk came in right away with my first, my second it took over a week and I did have to give her a bit of formula. Typically though there is colostrum that comes in right away, like pre milk.
Avatar f tn Hey moms!! Which baby formula is best to use? I have been getting a lot of coupons and things from Enfamil.
5065378 tn?1381121570 I just got a package of free baby formula samples in the mail. I don't know how I feel about. Kinda freaks me out.. I don't think ill be giving it to my baby.
Avatar n tn My daughter had an especially hard time digesting formula despite having breast milk in addition. I had to play around with a few different formulas to find one that my daughter could digest. The one I ended up using was Nestle Good Start with soy (of course one of the most expensive types) and though the constipation went away, this formula really made her poop green.
Avatar n tn I had to quit taking Premarin in December because of the physical side-effects I was having – swollen and VERY sore breasts, terrible aching pains in my knees and hips, and edema in my claves and ankles. When I quit, the hot flashes and night sweats came back with a vengeance! I suffered terribly for about two weeks before I started taking an herbal supplement called Wisdom Menopause Formula. For me it has worked wonders.
Avatar f tn Ladies, I came across this article while reading the news on yahoo. I do not think it is right that they would not tell what formula's were studied. ATLANTA - Traces of a chemical used in rocket fuel were found in samples of powdered baby formula, and could exceed what's considered a safe dose for adults if mixed with water also contaminated with the ingredient, a government study has found. The study by scientists at the U.S.
