    Posted: 26 August 2007 at 8:24pm
Gabrielles recent reluctance to breastfeed has made me start to think about weaning. We do 3 feeds a day but she basically refuses the morning one and the night one and only likes the afternoon one. I am reluctant to give her cows milk as a naturpath test showed she has an intolerance (6/10). I'm not keen on soy though.

Do you think it'd be ok to go with cows milk? My DH is lactose intolerant now but was fine with milk as a kid.

According to naturopath tests I am also lactose intolerant but I don't notice any problems at all when I drink large or regular quantities of milk.

I'd be inclined to start with 1/2 cup a day and if she's fine with it, increase to 1 cup. I guess with intolerance it's largely trial and error.

Why do you not like soy? I don't like the taste myself but lots of people who have children with milk allergies seem to use it..

I drink soy quite a bit and like the taste. It's just the phyto-estrogen thing that I'm not 100% comfortable with.

I agree with Teresa about starting slowly. And I agree with you re: the phyto-oestrogen thing, current NZ dieticians recommendation is no soy as a main drink till after 2.
