Is this a SOY Allergy???

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

I recently had a beautiful 7.5lb baby girl 3 weeks ago and put

her on soy formula. Now here is my question. Starting 1 week after

birth her bum started to get REALLY raw and break out in tiny blood

spots. I called Pedi and put her on alternating hydrocortisone and

lotrimin with Desitin over it. Pedi said it is NOT a yeast problem

that it is contact from her stools to her bum. I tried this for 1

week and now her bum is REALLY bad it's like the top layer of skin is

peeled off. She screams when I change her ( and that is really often,

she messes before, during, after and inbetween bottles, every 3

hours ). Lastly I had Pedi culture her stools for blood and it came

up positive. COULD THIS BE ALL BECAUSE OF A SOY ALLERGY???? Pedi

wants me to keep her on soy because she is gaining a good amount of

weight with it. 6.12 leaving hospital and 7.9 at 2 week visit. Any

suggestions and / or alternatives to the soy formula would be greatly

appreciated. I have looked into Nutramigen and Alimentum but both

contain casein in ver minut amounts and it is already pre-digested.

Is this ok for our children. My son is PDD and GFCF for 1 year now

and doing great. I will pull her off of the soy by Friday if I

strongly feel that is the cause no matter what Pedi say's.

Thanks in advance for any info that can help my baby girl.

Hugs, Terry.B
