Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

American Academy of pediatrics (AAP) prohibits the use of soy based formula in infants. Studies have found that 3 compounds found in soy based formulas may be harmful to baby, these are trypsin inhibitors, phytic acid, and phytoestrogens. Only some pedestrians in Asian countries prescribe soy based formula in medical conditions like severe lactose intolerance, galactosemia, etc. For gas problems in baby you may use other milk based formulas, drops of digestive enzymes, etc.

Consult your doctor and ask for stool tests for lactose intolerance or clinical evaluation for cow's milk allergy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
