Clothing tips to look taller

If you’re anything like us, you have a love-hate relationship with your height (or lack thereof). Some days, your petite frame makes you extra-squeezable, which works wonders in the S.O. department. But other days, you just want to pull a Karlie Kloss in a mini and some pumps—and, if you’re not 6’2″, the look can seem difficult to achieve.
If you totally relate to that feeling, join the club—lately, we’ve been longing for length. But since there’s no way to actually gain (vertical) inches overnight, we’ve resorted to creativity—in the form of fashion, as usual.
Here are some dos of dressing to look taller.

Try Column Dressing
Look for straight, tailored pieces that create a ‘column’ feel. It will create straight lines up and down your body, making you look taller. Have you ever noticed how parallel lines tend to make an object (or, in this case, your bod) look slimmer and longer?
This is probably my fave of her tips. Column dressing is just so dang flattering—on everybody. Plus, it’s super versatile. You’ve probably got a bunch of things in your closet right now that qualify and you didn’t even know it!

Wear Vertical Stripes
Vertical stripes pretty much do the same thing as column dressing—they give the illusion that you’re super tall, even if you’re not. Stripes in general aren’t my fave, but if I’m going to wear them at all, you’d best believe they’ll be vertical.

Opt for High-Waisted Jeans
High-waisted jeans are shamazing for multiple reasons—including their ability to make anyone look taller. They hit you at your waist, which is typically the smallest area of your stomach.
And there’s nothing better than a flattering pair of jeans, except maybe the fact that you probably already have, like, 12 pairs, so this tip is a total freebie!

Go Monochromatic
A monochromatic outfit creates a cohesive look, which keeps the eye running up and down (It’s basically the column logic all over again), The result: legs for days!

Monochromatic outfits are so in right now and they’re virtually impossible to screw up.

Choose the Most Micro of Prints
Especially if you’re petite, teeny-tiny prints can make a surprisingly big statement. Whereas big prints tend to minimize, micro prints maximize (ahem, elongate).
On occasion, these micro prints can hit you in the wrong places, causing parts of your body to look wider than you’d like. If that’s the case for you, switch this tip out for another one on the list.

Opt for Super-Tall Boots (Or Super-Short Ones)
It’s crucial to pay attention to where your boots hit your leg. Anything that hits mid-calf cuts your leg off. So it’s better to opt for shoes that land at your ankles. Over-the-knee boots are also a win—they never fail to make you look tall AF.

Try Pointed-Toe Shoes
Pointed shoes elongate your legs. And now that we think about it, that makes total sense. Pointed toes literally add an inch or two to your foot; in heel form, this translates to, like, four inches of extra height—two on the heel, two on the toe. (Or more, if you’re feeling ambitious.)
This tip is super-practical, because it doesn’t only apply to heels. Pointed-toe flats are a huge trend right now especially in the form of slides.

Tuck in Your Shirt
Avoiding baggy, boxy, oversized clothing is crucial if you’re aiming for the appearance of height. You know how big prints tend to minimize? Big silhouettes do, too. So when it comes to cut, we’re going for tailored here, people.

If you’re in the anti-tuck camp, we totally feel you—it can definitely feel uncomfy at times. If you’re not interested in the prim-and-proper look, opt out of this one or settle on a French tuck. We’ll forgive you!

Don a V-Neck
V-shaped necklines give the illusion of a longer torso. Longer = taller and taller = goals. Can’t argue with that math! Plus, V-necks are a super-easy way to incorporate the illusion of height into your wardrobe. You probably already own more than you can count.

Choose Neutral Footwear
Think about it: If your shoes are a similar color to your skin, they sort of blend. In turn, this makes your legs appear that much longer—especially if you’re wearing heels.

Tips for new puppy owners

Bringing home a new puppy is one of the most exciting things in life! Pups fill our lives with an endless amount of joy and companionship. However, it's important to remember that taking care of a new puppy requires work and commitment to ensure good habits from early on. In this guide, we'll give you our best tips for new puppy owners.
1- Invest in Good Quality Puppy Equipment
Investing in good quality equipment for your pup is a must! Although it may be a bit more expensive, quality always pays off in the end.
Some puppy equipment includes:
• Food and water bowls
• A leather leash
• A soft harness or collar
• A crate
• A dog bed
• Toys
2- Read Up On Training Books for Puppies
We love a good read, especially when it comes to our new furry friend! For the first time puppy owner, there are plenty of great books and websites (dogwise.com) out there to learn all about proper training techniques. It's important to remember that the best training starts now. Puppies learn fast, and with positive reinforcement, obedience and training, your puppy will learn in no time. Keep the training fun and light, and most of all, positive, and we promise you'll see amazing results.
3- Crate and Kennel Training for Puppies
Many first-time puppy owners think that training their puppy in a crate or kennel is cruel. However, it's quite the opposite! Investing in a good crate or kennel is one of the best decisions you can make when it comes to your new puppy. The crate or kennel can serve many functions within your household.
Some of the benefits of crate training your new puppy include:
• Assisting with potty training
• Avoiding mischief when left alone
• Serving as their quiet and cozy getaway
• Travelling safely while in the car

4- Create Puppy-Safe Rooms
When it comes to your new puppy, baby gates come in handy! Buy one and block off the rooms you don't want your puppy in initially (at least until they're housetrained). It's impossible to supervise your new puppy 24 hours a day, so having a "puppy-safe room" for them to wander around is a great idea. Put some toys in the room, as well as their crate, bed and water.
5- Create a Daily Routine for Your New Puppy
First-time puppy owners need to be consistent and establish a routine early on for their new furry friend! Puppies are much like children, and creating a consistent schedule is expected behaviour is important. Create a routine for things like feeding, playtime, training, potty time, and of course, cuddles, and it'll help your puppy feel secure and happy.
6- Practice Potty Training Your Puppy
Take your puppy outside first thing in the morning, after a nap, after eating, after playtime, and before bed. Remember the crate? This is the time when it becomes your new best friend! If you have to leave your puppy at home alone, put them in their crate while you're gone. The crate will encourage your puppy not only to control their bladder but will also curb the instinct to chew everything they can get their teeth and paws on.
7- Enroll in Puppy Training Classes
Enrolling your new puppy in training classes is a great way to jump-start the process! Your new puppy will learn basic obedience exercises such as 'sit,' 'down' and 'come' and maybe even 'Fetch the slippers!' Most importantly, your puppy will have the opportunity to socialize with other puppies. Socializing is very important in the first few months. Expose your puppy to lots of new experiences and people. Places like dog parks aren't the best option for socialization as some dogs may not be properly trained themselves.
8- Correct Behavioral Problems Early On
Remember that behaviour that seems 'cute' when puppies are young may become annoying or dangerous when fully grown. Behaviour like jumping or crawling into your lap uninvited can be a problem down the road. Therefore, teach your puppy to enjoy being held from the very start. Look in their mouth and run your fingers over their gums to prepare them for tooth brushing. You can also run a brush over their body to get them used to grooming and handle their feet often to prepare for nail trimming. We promise your vet will thank you later!
9- Choosing The Best Puppy Food
Feed your puppy the very best quality food you can afford. Serving high-quality food is an excellent investment in your puppy's health and happiness. Similarly, when it comes to treats, choose natural treats like carrots or broccoli and high-quality commercial treats with healthy ingredients.
When all else fails, let common sense and love rule your actions - you can't go wrong! Enjoy the puppy stage while it lasts. It's over much too quickly.

20 Things You Didn't Know Your Smartphone Could Do (Part 1)


Whether you want to get home safer, instantly track an elusive selfie, or make sure your painting is properly aligned, these 20 things you didn't know your smartphone could do might just make an otherwise-distracting device feel a whole lot more useful. Read on, and see your life improve immediately.
This is the first of a two-part article that’s made to make your life a lot easier.

1- Scan QR Codes Without an App

While you used to have to have a specialized QR code reader app on your phone, now you can simply point your iPhone camera at QR code and have it scan automatically. All you have to do is open your camera app, focus your camera on the QR code, and then tap the resulting notification that takes you to the product page or website. Luckily, the same can be done on an Android as well by opening the Google App, enabling screen search, and following the same protocol.

2- Create Custom Vibrations

If you're the kind of person who feels uneasy when their smartphone isn't in hand, but are also just polite enough not to bust it out in the middle of a movie theater, customized vibration patterns might just save you some frustration by letting you know whether a call coming through is urgent or not. After going into Settings on your iPhone, click Sounds & Haptics. Click on Ringtone or Text Tone, and, at the top, you'll see an option for Vibration. Click this and scroll down until you find the section that says Custom, underneath which you'll click Create New Vibration. In this part of the app, you can create your own customized vibration pattern, which you can then assign to contacts.

3- Search Photos By Category

Can't remember when you took that really cute selfie, but wouldn't mind using it for your new Tinder or Bumble photo? Don't worry, finding it is easier than you think. Using the search function at the top of your Photo app, you can search by category. For example, type in the word "cat" and photos of you and your beloved feline friend should pop up.

4- Diagnose Your Car Troubles

Not sure what's going wrong with your car, but aren't in the mood to pay a mechanic hundreds of bucks to tell you it's nothing? There's an app for that. Download the Automatic Pro app for your iPhone or Android device and you'll get an adaptor that allows you to plug it into your car's ODB-II port, usually located near the base of the steering column. Once it's plugged in, the app can remind you where you parked, diagnose engine trouble, and even alert your loved ones in the event of an accident.

5- Check the Batteries on Your Remote

We've all been there: your favorite show is about to come on, and the remote suddenly stops working. However, figuring out if it's a problem with your service or your remote can waste precious time you could be using to absorb every second of the latest Westworld. The good news? You can find out what the problem is fast using your smartphone. Simply point your remote at your phone's front-facing camera and press any button. If you can see the infrared light from the remote flashing on the screen, your remote is working. If not, it's time to change those batteries.

6- Play Your Favorite Show on Your TV

Thinking that episode of Game of Thrones would look a lot more epic if you weren't watching it on a six-inch screen? There's an easy workaround. On your iPhone's home screen, swipe up and you'll see an option for Screen Mirroring. Provided you have an Apple TV, all you need to do is click and your screen mirroring app, stand sufficiently close to your Apple TV, and enter your AirPlay passcode, if prompted. Luckily, you can do the same using an Android phone, as well, if you have a Chromecast or Chromecast-enabled device. Even if you don't have an Apple TV, you can still do the same with your iPhone by downloading third-party apps, like Reflector or AirServer, onto your computer and using the mirroring feature as described.

7- Keep You Safe While Walking Home

Getting a little freaked out when you're walking home at night is natural, but there's an easy way for your phone to keep you safer. The bSafe app, available for both iPhone and Android, allows you to send invitations to selected contacts to track your location, set a timer that will trigger a distress call to your contacts if you haven't made it home within a specified time frame, and can even schedule fake calls to make it seem as though you're talking to someone on your trip home.

8- Update Siri's Pronunciation

If you've ever wished Siri could stop mispronouncing words or names you use frequently, there's an easy way to fix that. Activate Siri and tell her to pronounce word or name she regularly mispronounces. Once she's repeated the word, say, "You're pronouncing [that word] wrong," and you'll be invited to say the name properly. Next, you'll be given a list of options for correcting Siri's pronunciation.

9- Power On Your Lights

Want to make your home safer and more well-lit in one fell swoop? There's an app for that. If you have wifi-enabled bulbs at home, you can use your Amazon Alexa app to control them throughout your house at the touch of a button, saving energy if you want them off, or keeping your home protected by making it look occupied, even if you're not around.

10- Create Text and Emoji Shortcuts

If you're eager to save yourself serious time when you type, try creating some text replacement shortcuts on your phone. On your iPhone, go into Settings, click Keyboard, and click Text Replacement. In the upper right hand corner, press the plus symbol and you'll be instructed to add phrases that you'd like to type shorthand or use emojis for. In the future, when you type those characters or symbols, the word you're going for will pop up.

7 Ways to Make Your Brakes Last Longer

Every driver knows that brakes are crucial when it comes to car safety and functionality. Bad brakes are a recipe for disaster! But many don’t realize the impact of their driving habits on how long their brakes will last.
Though some factors are out of your control, making a few small changes in your driving style will not only make you a safer driver but also help your brakes last longer.

1. Don’t Be a Speed Demon
The greatest enemy of brakes is high speed. The higher your speed, the more energy—and brake material—it takes for your vehicle’s braking system to stop the car.

2. Practice Coasting
Coasting is a technique where you take your foot off the gas pedal and let the vehicle slow down naturally before applying the brakes. Coasting isn’t appropriate for every situation on the road, but it tends to work well when you’re preparing to turn or if you see a stop sign or traffic slow-down ahead.

3. One Foot Only, Please
Maybe you’ve seen a car accelerate with illuminated brake lights before. This is a direct result of the driver pressing on the brake pedal with his left foot while simultaneously pressing the gas pedal with his right.

Some drivers think that using both feet to press the brake and accelerator will improve their response times. However, it’s not a safe practice for everyday drivers, and you run the risk of putting light, continuous pressure on the brake as you drive (also called brake riding).

Over time, this practice wears down the pads and warps the rotors. So keep your left foot on the floor and only use your right foot to accelerate and brake.

4. Try Engine Braking

Engine braking is the process of slowing down your car by shifting down through the gears. It’s more effective in cars with a manual transmission, but you can do it with an automatic transmission too. By shifting your car into a lower gear, the engine will decelerate your vehicle, giving your brakes a break.
5. Widen the Gap
Nobody likes a tailgater, and neither do your brakes! When you follow too close, you end up pressing the brake pedal harder and more often, causing wear and tear on your brake system.
Give yourself plenty of following distance to make it easier to coast to a stop and cut down on brake wear. And make sure to increase your following distance at night, in inclement weather or in other higher-risk driving conditions.
6. Lighten the Load
Overloading your vehicle can significantly decrease the life of your brakes. This is because the heavier your vehicle is, the harder the brakes have to work to bring the vehicle to a stop. Try taking out any unnecessary items and avoid taking on more weight than your car can safely handle.
7. Flush Brake Fluid at Regular Intervals
Brake fluid naturally attracts water, which lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid and reduces braking performance.
The added moisture can also lead to internal corrosion, causing parts of the braking system to rot away. To prevent this from happening, we recommend replacing and/or flushing your brake fluid regularly.
The standard industry recommendation is to get a brake fluid flush every two years or 25,000 miles.

10 tips for manteining your CCTV security system

Maintaining your CCTV security system is essential for ensuring uninterrupted video footage and complete coverage of key areas. Just like any other piece of equipment, your CCTV cameras and DVR need regular maintenance to keep them running at their best.
If you’re not sure how to maintain your CCTV security system, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. We’ve listed ten practical tips for maintaining your security camera system. Follow these tips to help ensure that your CCTV system is always up and running!

1- Regularly Clean Camera Lenses
Check your indoor and outdoor cameras regularly to ensure that the lenses are clean. Dust, dirt, and fingerprints can all interfere with the quality of your video footage.
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them down to clean your camera lenses. If there are any stubborn stains, you can use a mild cleaning solution (like soap and water) to remove them. Just be sure to avoid using any harsh chemicals, as these can damage your camera lens.

2- Inspect Cables and Connections
Next, take a look at all of the cables and connections to make sure that they are secure. Loose cables can cause video quality issues, so it’s important to check them on a regular basis and tighten any loose connections.

3- Test Your System Regularly
It’s important to test your CCTV system regularly to ensure that it works properly. This includes testing the cameras, DVR, and monitor to make sure that they are all functioning correctly. You should also test your system’s recording capabilities to ensure that it is recording high-quality video footage.

4- Back-Up Your Video Footage
Make sure to regularly back up your video footage to avoid losing important data. This is especially important if you are using a cloud-based storage system. In addition, backing up your footage will help you avoid any potential issues if your system fails or if your footage is accidentally deleted.

5- Keep Your Software Up-To-Date
One of the most important CCTV maintenance tips is to keep your security camera software up-to-date. Security camera manufacturers regularly release updates for their products, and these updates often include new features and bug fixes. By keeping your software up-to-date, you can ensure that your system is always running at its best.

6- Monitor Your System Remotely
If you have a remote monitoring system in place, make sure to regularly check in on it to ensure that everything is working properly. This includes checking the DVR, cameras, and monitor to ensure that they are all online and functioning correctly.

7- Check the Power Supplies
Another important CCTV maintenance task is to check the power supplies for your security cameras regularly. This includes checking the batteries (if your system uses them) and making sure that the cameras are connected to a reliable power source. If you notice any issues with the power supply, be sure to contact a professional for help.

8- Check the Lighting Conditions
When checking your security cameras, pay attention to the lighting conditions around them. So f you notice that the camera is not getting enough light, you may need to adjust the camera’s position or add additional lighting. Poor lighting can cause video quality issues, so it’s important to make sure that your cameras are properly lit.

9- Check the Hard Drives Periodically
Don’t forget to check the hard drives for your security cameras regularly. This includes checking for any errors or issues and making sure that they have enough free space. If you notice any problems with the hard drive, be sure to contact a professional for help.

10- Hire a Professional
Speaking of which, if you don’t feel comfortable maintaining your CCTV system yourself, you can always hire a professional to do it for you. Security camera maintenance is a critical part of owning a security camera system, and it’s important to make sure that it is done properly. Hiring a professional to do it for you can help ensure that your system is always running.

10 hidden hikes to do in the US in 2022

The advent of the new year often brings to many people a renewed determination to spend more time outdoors, explore America’s amazing national parks, and travel in an outdoors capacity. From sea to shining sea, the US has such a wide variety of terrain to discover, and hiking scenic trails is the unparalleled way to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors.
If you are looking for inspiration for a future hiking trip, look no further! We have accumulated ten of the most highly-rated, bucket list-worthy hiking trails in the United States.
10- HAVASU FALLS
Location: Havasupai Indian Reservation, Arizona
Difficulty level: Moderate
Length of hike: 20 miles out-and-back
Due to limited access to this gorgeous falls, Havasu Falls quickly becomes a bucket list hike for any who hear of it. Located on Havasupai Indian Reservation, it is one of the most beloved and prized hikes in the United States. You take a step back in time and take on an incredible journey across a stunning portion of the Colorado Plateau. The terrain will be similar to that of the Grand Canyon, as it shares roughly the same type of geographical timeline. Your destination is the incredible, turquoise waters of Havasu Falls, located in a peaceful, sensational red canyon.

9- HIGHLINE TRAIL: LOGAN PASS TO GRANITE PARK CHALET
Location: Glacier National Park, Montana
Difficulty level: Advanced
Length of hike: 14.9 miles
The Highline Trail is renowned for journeying along the Continental Divide. Few places in the United States can offer hikers such a close-up experience with this magnificent national landmark. The hike offers different exciting aspects, with steep cliffs, gorgeous wildflowers, glaciers, postcard-worthy unrelenting views of the Continental Divide, and the possibility of seeing wildlife like bighorn sheep, mountain goats, and deer (and grizzlies).

8- BURROUGHS MOUNTAIN LOOP TRAIL
Location: Washington
Difficulty level: Moderate
Length of hike: 9.4 miles (via Sunrise Rim)
This hike will satisfy those seeking impressive views and an impressive physical feat; it is said to offer some of the best views and accessibility of the tundra of the Cascades. Burroughs Mountain neighbors Mt. Rainier, rewarding hikers with sweeping, open views of Winthrop Glacier and Washington’s largest volcano, Mount Adams. A highly exposed trail, the hike traverses along the broad, expansive slopes of Burroughs Mountain.

7- HARDING ICEFIELD TRAIL
Location: Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska
Difficulty level: Advanced
Length of hike: 8.2 miles
This epic trail will give you a proper introduction to the wild, isolated natural beauty of Alaska’s landscape. The trail begins on the valley floor through forests, up a strenuous incline, past tree line, to spectacular vistas of glaciers and ice fields. Standing at 3500 feet, you’ll be taken back in time, looking over the expanse of the U.S.’ largest ice field.

6- HALF DOME TRAIL
Location: Yosemite National Park, California
Difficulty level: Advanced
Length of hike: 15-17 miles
This is one of the most quintessential hikes of California and Yosemite National Park. Claimed at one point to be “inaccessible,” thousands now labor up its exciting, panoramic trail way to a summit 8,839 feet above sea level. This amazing day hike is especially memorable for the last 400 foot ascent to the summit; the combined smooth and steep stone incline necessitates the use of cables, and hikers are grateful for a cable line to grip.

5- BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL
Location: Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
Difficulty level: Advanced
Length of hike: 15.3 miles
A bucket list hiking trail, if there has ever been one. The Grand Canyon is among the Seven Natural Wonders of the World for good reason, and the Bright Angel trail is here to show you why. Bright Angel Trail is the most popular of trails in the national park, but crowds die down after a few miles, particularly after Indian Gardens campgrounds. It takes you down the sheer, world-famous cliffs of the canyon, with out-of-this-world panoramic views at every switchback turn.

4- MOUNT KATAHDIN
Location: Baxter State Park, Maine
Difficulty level: Advanced
Length of hike: 10.9 mile
Mount Katahdin is an incredibly popular destination hike, offering excellent panoramas and an exciting hiking challenge. It is the formal end of the Appalachian Trail, so you may meet hikers who have journeyed for 5 or 6 months to stand at the summit! The peak stands at 5,267 feet, the highest point in the state of Maine. There are several trails leading to the summit, differing in length and difficulty, with the Saddle Trail recommended for beginners.

3- CHARLES BUNION
Location: Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina
Difficulty level: Moderate
Length of hike: 8.1 miles
Hiking a length of the famed 2,190-mile Appalachian Trail is very bucket list-worthy. Charles Bunion is one of the most popular hikes of the Smokies, due to its generous, spectacular views and exciting trail climb. The climb is steep and aggressive for the first few miles and takes you through gorgeous, wooded forests. The summit is a wonderful, expansive view of the Smoky Mountains, so beautiful that it will have you wondering if you can finagle more of the Appalachian Trail into your schedule.

2- KALALAU TRAIL
Location: Haena State Park, Kauai, Hawai’i
Difficulty level: Advanced
Length of hike: 22 miles
This scenic trail will make the top of nearly any “best hike” list based out of the United States. Hawaiian landscape is so wildly different from any other state, as the tropical terrain and lush backdrop immediately sets this trail apart. The Kalalau Trail is famous for its aggressive, tropical trail leading hikers along the heavenly island coastline to the immense and awe-worthy Nāpali Coast, all the while winding through lush tropical forests and around steep, treacherous cliffs.

1-THE NARROWS
Location: Zion National Park, Utah
Difficulty level: Advanced
Length of hike: 16 miles

This famous trail offers such a unique hiking—more like canyoneering—experience. Imagine yourself in a gorge, following a flowing riverbed for miles, enclosed by towering red rock walls a thousand feet high. The Narrows is incredibly memorable because it follows the narrowest part of Zion Canyon, up the beautiful Virgin River. The width of the canyon varies up to 30 feet wide and, depending on the time of year, hikers will at some points be wading in water up to their chest! (Most often, however, it is ankle-deep.) As you can imagine, this hike is considered treacherous as footing can be tricky and slippery due to the river and, in the winter, conditions become more treacherous, as flash floods are possible.

How to tell if your baby is allergic to formula and what to do about it

Milk allergy is the most common food allergy in children. In fact, 2 to 3 percent of kids under age 3 show symptoms of an allergy. Just because your baby has signs of a milk allergy, though, doesn't necessarily mean they're allergic to milk – it could be an intolerance or sensitivity, which often causes the same gastrointestinal issues.
Signs of an allergic reaction to formula
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Blood or mucus in the stool
• Unusually hard or excessively loose, watery, and foul-smelling p**p
• Abdominal pain
• Frequent spit up and excessive gassiness may also be signs of a milk allergy.

Not all signs of a formula allergy are gastrointestinal, though. Other signs of an allergy include:

• Itchy, watery, or swollen eyes
• Chronic nasal stuffiness
• Runny nose
• Cough
Your child may also develop itchy raised bumps on the skin known as hives. This is a type of skin rash that often occurs as a result of an allergic reaction. Hives can appear anywhere on the body and may look like tiny spots, blotches or large bumps.
Another common rash that may appear with a formula allergy is known as eczema (atopic dermatitis) and can cause red, itchy or dry skin. Eczema tends to show up on the cheeks and scalp in babies but can appear anywhere on the body.
What to do if your baby has a formula allergy
First, check with your child's doctor to make sure that something else isn't causing the reaction. Once they rule out other possibilities, they may recommend a hypoallergenic (hydrolyzed) formula or an amino acid-based formula that's processed to avoid allergic reactions.

Your doctor most likely won't recommend a soy formula – soy is also a highly allergenic food, so if your baby is allergic to milk, they may also be allergic to soy. In fact, about 8 to 14 percent of babies with a cow's milk allergy will also have a reaction to soy. Ask your baby's doctor before switching to a soy formula.
Your baby's doctor may also recommend keeping epinephrine auto-injectors on hand for your baby in case they accidentally have a milk product and have a severe reaction to it
