Why soy infant formula is one of the absolute worst foods your baby

[Janie]

I totally agree that balance is important. But it's hard to see the balance when you have a kid who cannot consume soy, yet it is so difficult to avoid!

I love to eat/provide wholefoods, and make everything from scratch, but my life doesn't always allow for that. For goodness sake, even almost every mayonnaise available contains soy! I love to make my own, but it doesn't always happen

Yes, Janie. I totally get where you are coming from! It must be tricky when you are allergic to soy and it is in almost everything. I have the same problem with trying to avoid dairy, and I hate it when you find a product that you can eat, and then the company changes the recipe and adds the ingredient that you have been avoiding! So annoying. :wall

Yep, it is totally frustrating. Particularly as we both need to avoid dairy as well.........and 95% of dairy replacements are soy!!!! So I hear you!

Oh my goodness, what do you do; i have a eight month old son who already i have to avoid both because it affects him thru bf...dairy i'm sure of but soy we are just steering away from for now (i didn't know it was in everything processed though so i guess i havent' been avoiding it as much as i could have!) we are yet to have an allergy test for dairy and soy....if he is positive what are some food ideas??
