Hi. I am very new to all of this. I tried to post to the list a couple of times last week and now I know why it didn't post.
My son is 13 months old and was diagnosed with a milk allergy when he was 6 months old. He has been on soy formula, but I had decided to try to switch him to soy milk. I purchased WestSoy Plus Vanilla Soy Beverage, but he had a mild reaction to it (hives all over his face). The container had a K in a square. I thought that would indicate that it was dairy-free, but I haven't seen that kosher marking anywhere else. Has anyone had any experience with WestSoy products or with this type of kosher marking?
I am also concerned about getting enough fat in his diet with soy milk. I have been told that he needs something with about 8 grams of fat per 8 ounce serving. Most soy milks that I have seen have only about 4 grams per serving. I am considering just keeping him on soy formula for a while longer. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help.
Sandy
