Soy formula??

[CW&M Mom]

I want to know as well . My baby is well over 11 months and in the course of buying formula and I think I got return one time and I end up exchange something that soy . If I still be able to feed him maybe at least when he is over a year just to use it you know.

TIA

So you have soy formula..basically for the next month....I would probably go ahead and give it to him.

My baby also had a milk protein allergy and we were told by his pediatrician to altogether skip soy and go straight to the hypoallergenic stuff. He told us that unless it's for vegan/vegetarian reasons, that you should not give your child soy.

I would NOT under any circumstance! I have read and read tons about soy. We avoid soy altogether. I have seen photos in medical journals of 3 year olds with pubic hair. Girls reach puberty at 7 years of age. The one day amount of soy formula had hormones (I forgot exactly how much it is, but I think it was) equivalent to 30 birth control pills.Outrageous!
Soy has been linked to cause tumors, shrink brain cells, age...
The only soy safe to consume is soy sauce because it is fermented and the hormones are destroyed in the process.
Check out DR. WESTON PRICE.ORG web site, that's the one I remember from the top of my head.

That's really funny because I've read the same things about giving children cow's milk and meat that has been treated with antibiotics and growth hormones.


Here is an article about some of the risks of eating dairy, with results from studies done at Harvard.

Milk: It does a body bad

FYI, I love dairy products, and I love soy too. I just wanted to show that any point you want to make can be found on the web.

I take everything I read with a grain of salt, but I do know first hand that my son is allergic to milk, and I have seen what it does to his body.

If you are trying to do the vegan thing...I can understand wanting to do soy...otherwise I would not suggest it...there have been some studies that show...a possibility that it can help predispose you for Diabetes.

So if it's for allergies or wanting your child to do a vegan diet...I would say it's okay...otherwise I would stick with a regular formula.

Haven't both soy and cow's milk formulas have been linked to diabetes?

Just curious, what would you have given instead? My son had extreme difficulty latching on and ended up having a milk allergy, so we gave him soy formula. What else would I have been able to give him? What do the experts say about circumstances like that where you need soy? I can only find the "black and white" stances, and no in between answers.

The Weston Price folks have some recipes for some meat based formulas, but they seem like some of the most controversial parts of a highly controversial diet:shrug7:.

The other options are to eat a dairy-free diet and pump or have donor milk (granted how feasable these would be would depend greatly on your individual situation. I'm not living in lala land where I think they they would work for everyone. Just throwing other ideas out there )
