Should I feed my baby soy formula or milk-based formula? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?
it is recommended that babies drink milk-based formula because it has the closest formulation to breastmilk. It is not possible to duplicate breastmilk, but the milk-based formulas are as close as science can get. Some babies cannot tolerate milk-based formulas, due to an allergic reraction to milk, sensitive digestion, etc, and for those babies, the doctors will switch them to soy-based formula. Some doctors will start your baby on soy-based formula if their is a history of milk allergy in the family. You really should talk with your baby’s doctor if youare unsure which formula to give your baby, but I hope this info helped.
