    My kids drink Silk soy milk. I actually started them on it this past October because they had nasty colds. I did notice at first that their bowel movements were very stinky but I do not seem to notice it anymore. I guess it helps that they now use the toilet. Hope this kinda helps. :)

    Mine drink soy (Silk) and have since they turned 1. I have noticed that Kenna has the stinkiest poos of anyone on this planet but hadn't connected it to the soy. I just thought it was bc she is lactose intolerant and occassionaly gets dairy??

    My daughter and my twins were on Soy formula for the first year. We switched them to lactaid whole milk for 2 weeks and then to regular whole milk and they've done great. We were very suprised, because we had my daughter tested for milk allergy and she did test positive for allergy to the milk protein. My pediatrician said most kids outgrow milk allergies by the age of 1 and sure enough my daughter (now 4 has been fine with milk ever since!). My pediatrician didn't want them only on Soy because it doesn't have the benefits of whole milk.

    We did soy milk and then switched to almond milk. Almond milk tastes better to me, and my DS really likes it. DD could take it or leave it. I do buy vanilla flavored, plain is just too blah for me. I also like to get some unsweetened almond milk to use in smoothies.

    Didn't notice anything stinky about them. but they were on soy formula for awhile too.

    My son has a dairy allergy, still severe at age 3, and he drinks Vanilla Soy Milk (8th Continent) My daughter (no allergy) won't drink it and I am too scared to give her milk, drink Calcium fortifies OJ in the morning and evening.

    I would check & make sure they have not developed an allergy to Soy. A percentage of children with a diary allergy also have a soy allergy. Just check in with your allergist on it. I hope that is not the case!

    We were on soy formula, then went to soy(Silk) milk, which gave them terrible diarrhea. We then switched to rice milk until they were 18 months, and finally to regular whole milk!

    OOHHH! Wow- My DH and I have been saying this since we had to switch DS to Soy. We use Silk vanilla. DS has some constipation issues. He tested negative to milk protein allergins... We hoped he would have grown out of it by age 1. He is now 22 months. We do give him cheese and about 1 tsp of mineral oil every few days. UGGH I hope he grows out of it soon!

    HOLY SMELLY DIAPERS!!!

    We thought it was just our little man! He stinks up the entire floor he is on!
