Transitioning from formula to other milks.

[Kelly]

Hi Everyone,

My daughter Penelope is almost 10 months old. She has been on a dairy-based formula almost since birth. I didn't want to go that route, but I couldn't breastfeed due to medication it is necessary for me to take, and she got really gassy and colicky with soy formula.

She has been congested and mucousy a lot of the time since she started the dairy formula, and I'm anxious to get her off of it, but I don't know when it's appropriate to transition and what to transition to.

Her doctor says to give her full fat milk at one year, but I obviously don't want to give her that. Can I just use fortified soy milk? Rice milk? Is it safe to do at one year?

Thanks,

Kelly
