While soy-based formulas are generally safe, some concerns have been raised regarding their use:
Phytoestrogens: Soy contains phytoestrogens, which are plant compounds that can mimic estrogen in the body. There is ongoing debate about the potential effects of phytoestrogens on infant development. Digestive issues: Some infants may experience digestive problems such as gas, bloating, or constipation when consuming soy-based formulas. Allergic reactions: Although rare, some infants may also be allergic to soy protein.
