TODO - Soy milk formula has limited medical indications for infants feeding,
although in several parts of the world it has been used as a source of
nutrition in a large number of children. It used to be the main
alternative feeding for infants allergic to cow’s milk who did not
breastfeed before the introduction of extensively hydrolyzed formulas.
Although there is a debate, the fact that some children are allergic to
soy or some children with cow’s milk allergy can present with
concomitant soy allergy, restricted the use of soy formulas for
treatment of infants allergic to cow’s milk. Other grain-based formulas
like the rice-based ones are promising in infants with cow’s milk
allergy. Grain-based formulas could be an alternative and cheaper way of
nutrition for infants allergic to cow’s milk than extensively hydrolyzed
formulas. Further large scale longitudinal clinical studies are required
to clarify the safety of soy and other grain-based formulas for
treatment of cow’s milk allergy.
