Hi All!
We came to US 4 months back..here we started giving whole milk ..but some said soy milk is good ..i have stared that and after 10 days i saw in google regarding the soy milk ..that it produces hormones more and makes the boys gay and girls reach there puberty very early..and become fat and grow more of their age..and also they have some problem in their reproductiv system
Is that true ..
my f' nd asked her doctor as she is also giving her kid soy milk and she said to continue ..am a bit confused regarding that ..as my kid doesn' t eat anything and as soy is full of proteins i started that and she is very thin and after yrs all of a sudden..if she grows fat its a problem ..right?
and now she is not drinking whole milk ..she is only liking soy vanilla flovour and peadiasure
so plz let me know..

Is pediasure good or itz just an energy drink? can we give that in place of milk
plzz help me in suggesting
and after using that

PreggoMom replied. I agree with Mel. Please use whole milk or similac instead of soy milk unless the baby is lactose intolerant.

ProggoMom Mel replied. Sandhya, there have been some studies that have proven that Soy milk creates an imbalance in the normal growth and functioning of children' s reproductive systems. It hasn' t been disproved.

If your child is not lactose intolerant, then please give him regular cow' s milk. I gave my son Soy milk only when he had diarrhoea as cow' s milk further upsets an upset stomach, but then too, revert back to cow' s milk as soon as the child' s motion is back to normal.

About Pediasure, it is also a COW MILK based drink, but it is VERY GOOD FOR HEALTH. It comes in two types, one for children till 3 years old, and another for older children. It is basically a completely balanced diet for your child. Since most toddlers are fussy and don' t eat everything they should, Pediasure is like an insurance to make sure that they get all required minerals, nutrients and vitamins that they need on a day to day basis.

You can give your child Pediasure once a day, and cow' s milk 2 - 3 times a day. Throw out the Soy Milk. Subha replied. dont worry dear. Both my sis' kids can' t take lactose products & r on soy milk for yrs.... and they are as thin as u cud be.... very active and healthy .
I know many ppl whose kids are on soy and haven' t were come across any such prob.


pediasure and soy milk are very healthy options... its just becos we all were brought up on cow' s milk that we feel its the best.

Go ahead with wht u r doing now
All the best.God bless
