How true! Bottle-fed babies are most often switched to soy-based formulae because of intolerance
to cow's milk *protein*. Of course, they can also be having problems with the types of fats and
sugars used, and many babies cannot tolerate soy, hence all the very expensive *non* allergenic
formulae on the market...
Nice to see you on Lactnet, Heidi! You too, Jane!
