Soy-based formulas may be recommended in several scenarios, including:
Lactose intolerance: Infants who cannot digest lactose, a sugar found in cow's milk, may benefit from a soy-based formula. Cow's milk protein allergy: Some infants have an allergy to the proteins found in cow's milk, making soy-based formulas a suitable alternative. Vegan families: Families who follow a vegan lifestyle may prefer soy-based formulas as they do not contain any animal products.
