Daughter Hates the Taste of Soy Formula, What Can I Do?

My daughter is going on 11 months old and a few weeks ago I started to wean her. She is breastfed, but has taken bottles since she was very young, so it isn't a bottle issue. When we started to wean about 3-4 weeks ago, we started giving her formula on a daily basis for the first time. Before that she would just have some sporatically. She got a rash on her cheeks again, just like she did when I tried giving her yogurt a couple months ago. I did some research and talked to the pediatrician and he agreed she probably has a milk protein...

Any Moms Concerned with Sweetener in Similac Organic Formula?

My three month old son is breast and formula fed. I've been using Similac Organic liquid formula to supplement. I eat mostly organic foods and was happy to find an organic formula, as the data about hormones/pesticides in dairy is quite scary. Recently, the NY Times published an article that raised concerns about the evaporated cane juice used as a sweetener in Similac Organic. Apparently, it is much sweeter than other formulas, even all of Similac's other products. The article questions Similac's use of the sweetener and states that this...
