Question 6

baby is going to turn 2 months i switched her formula to a hypoallergenic cuz she was allergic to soy and regular formula but since i switched it shes only drinking 2 ounces is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Not enough: 2 ounces at one time is usually not enough for a 2 month old baby to consume at one feeding, although the important thing is that the child gains weight &amp; grows &amp; develops.  Try feeding 1-2 ounces then a short break (3-5 mins) then offer another 1-2 oz.  But if the baby is growing &amp; gaining weight &amp; satisfied (not crying/fussing) with smaller amounts that may be adequate.

Question 7

is soy or tofu bad for you?

Accepted Answer

In general "No": Soy may be good for you unless you are allergic to it or have had breast cancer (those with estrogen receptors). Although once touted as beneficial in preventing breast cancer, soy may mimic estrogen action.  In my view, anything in excess is not good for you, but given a choice between red meat and soy, soy would come out ahead health-wise.

Question 8
