It's a little hard to decipher what exactly is going on. But the blood in the stool definitely could indicate a milk allergy (esp. since it went away when you took it out of the diet). As to what is going on with the soy now, hard to tell. She could have a bug or she could have an allergy. Try taking it out of the diet and then try again in a week or two when she is feeling better.

Take your child to an allerigist. They better understand allergies than regular peds. Truth is, your baby wasn't allergic to your milk but something that you were eating and/or the dairy formula. It takes time for the allergen to get out of the system so you need to realize that.

I would wait til she's feeling better and then try the soy once more to see if she can take it.

Go to an allergist.My baby is 3 months-- has mucus since a week old, reflux, eczema...I was told it's too early to test. PS- he has a severe allergy to eggs. I learned that u need to go with your gut feeling. If you feel something is not right, you get it checked till you get to the bottom of it. The first place I went was the ENT, I thought he had the answer- reflux, but I still didn't see much of a change, glad I went to the allergist and didn't listen to everyone who said the baby is too young... Hatzlacha!!!
