Nali my daughter had reflux and so did my nephew. They were both on soy. I don't think I would try the 1/2 cows and 1/2 formula if I were you not for reflux. Have you tried feeding your baby slowly and holding it in a semi upright position and elevating the head of her bed. These things will help, also her ped. Should be able to give her medicine for it.

Not sure about this myself. Never heard that before. I know you must exercise caution in prescribing certain meds to children, such as specific antibiotics (tetracyclines), for this very reason. Personally, I love goat cheese myself, but then again, I've been called a "dental nightmare" by a former dentist of mine. :D Hope someone here knows for sure. :)

In some cases it can go beyound dehydration and can build like ulcer like things, it can cause stomach bleeding. And can lead to allergies in the future... really not recommended

I have a 6 month old baby boy and I am struggling to get him to have 2 bottles a day so I went to the health clinic and my gp and they said to top him up with other milky foods like yoghurt etc and put cows milk in his vegies and cereal because he wouldn't eat his food if it had formula in it
So I think from 6 months you can put it in his foods!

Well, star, I would suggest talking to either your child's pediatrician, or the department where you apply for your wic. Either one of them should be able to answer your questions there with plenty of reasons not to introduce the milk now. That is like corn, they say it will not digest in a child's stomach. Well I haven't been a child for a long time now, and not to be gross, but sometimes I still don't digest corn either. So maybe they don't know it all.

This question is over 3 months old. I do believe, and NS correct me if I am wrong, that this problem has been solved by now.
