Too much of a good thing is no longer a good thing. I'm not sure about the soy protein passing into the breastmilk, but if that is her main source of protein on a daily basis, it probably is. I would guess she could back off or eliminate soy for a week to be sure. Then go down the list: wheat, spices, corn, legumes, etc. I hope this helps! Later, Diana M.
