My new baby has colic so I am going to try to go dairy free. I had done it before but at the time I lived close to whole foods and was able to get vegan cheeses and butter. And also at that time I wasnt concerned with soy so I used soy milk in cooking. But I hear babies shouldnt have that much soy and I cant readily get vegan cheeses and butter. So I am taking suggestions on substitutions!! Anyone else dairy free??
Side note: I dont eat a TON of dairy right now anyways because I am lactose intollerant but I am able to eat a lactaid pill and be ok. But apparently its the protein in milk and not the lactose that bothers the babies.

Yes soy can made them constipated..so try to avoid that as much as possible.. i would use more almond milk.. which is suppose to be alot healthier anyways..
Soy also has a lot of added hormones....and if i remember correctly its worse for boys because its like estrogen or something like that. Anyways, I just know soy is bad for babies.

chocolate chips are actually a dairy product. I would have to omit that.
