Save the Soy (Formula)

Here's a quick tip that I unfortunately learned today: even if your baby drinks milk-based formula, save the soy samples that formula companies send you. If your child has diarrhea, like unfortunately my younger son (YS) has, your pediatrician may advise you to temporarily switch to soy to "bind up" your baby. Apparently soy-based formula along with a bowl of rice cereal work very nicely. With the exception of one sample of soy formula, I had given the rest away. When you have a sick baby, the last thing you want to have to do is drag him, and your 3 year old who wants a PB&J sandwich because it is lunchtime, into Target to buy soy formula. Thankfully I had that one remaining can. Unfortunately, the above requested sandwich did not fare well and was exchanged for turkey bologna which I caught my older son (OS) wiping with a dishtowel before eating ( I have no idea why!) while I was preparing said soy formula for YS.

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: Even if your baby is on milk-based formula, save a free sample of soy formula just in case.

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
