Mira & all:
Based on the allergy literature (cases of anaphylaxis with soy protein as well
as cow's milk !) I usually recommend the so-called "elemental" formulas
(Alimentum, Pregestimil, Nutramingen) because:
1) Try to limit whole foreign proteins
2) It tastes BAD so babies go readily back to the breast
3) It is expensive - so patents don't want to stay on it for long!
