Soy Bebe. Bebo Soy.









Jack and Jedidiah recently visited the pediatric gastroenterologist. They are gaining weight well but the doctor decided to discontinue some medicine and change the formula based on the amount of vomiting. So, we started a soy-based formula, increased the amount of rice cereal and stopped Reglan. The first night they reacted well to the changes. The next day we realized the extra cereal was too much - It made it more difficult for them to burp resulting in more vomits.

We hope the new changes will help Jack and Jedidiah keep their food in their tummies instead of on Mommy and Daddy. So far, so good.

Hello Mr. Riggs,

Has the soy helped? I wonder why the pediatrician took so long to try this out. When Chandler was suffering from colic, Enfamil and Similac were too "strong" so I switched to feeding him the Carnation brand formula and it helped. I didn't have to go the soy route. But that would have been the next step. I hope all is well with your Twin A and Twin B.
