Bean vs Cow, bean wins

OK so, on my quest to get healthy and lose weight I have discovered soy milk. And when I say discovered I don;t mean I did not know about it. I knew it was out there. I just thought it was another health nut fad, so I never worried about it. I joined Curves and with my membership I got a goodie bag. It had a sample of soy milk in it. I was confused because it was not refrigerated. But it said to serve chilled, so I stuck it in the fridge. A few days went by, and I decided to give it a try. It was chocolate, and it was not bad. I said I would drink it again one day. No big deal. 


So then I get my Parents magazine. You know the one that always makes me second guess my parenting skills. LOL but anyway, there was an article in there about constipation. Braxton has frequent constipation and it said it could be caused my a milk intolerance. So this was my chance. I talked to Rick about trying to switch to soy milk and he was on board. And since it stated that babies are supposed to poop a few times a day, and Brooklyn is not a regular pooper, I decided to switch her formula to a lactose free one. So far she is tolerating it pretty well. She is still not pooping everyday, but she is tolerating the switch fine. I hope to see more dirty diapers in the near future. Weird for a Mom to say huh? As far as Braxton goes he is not crazy about the taste of the soy milk. We even tried Almond milk and he refused to drink it. So we are taking it a little slower with him, but we will get there. 


As for me. I LOVE it. It tastes so good! I prefer it over cow's milk. It is better for me, and you can;t beat that. It is a little more expensive, but I think it is worth it. The benefits can't be denied. So if you are a milk drinker, or even just put it on your cereal, I challenge you to give it a try. Keep an open mind. I think you will like it :o) 


Here is a breakdown of soy vs cow milk. If you do try it, or already drink it. Let me know. I would like to hear your opinions.
