<<Soy formula is considered to be more allergenic than cow's milk
formula. It really shouldn't be the 'first port of call'. I understand
the mother's upset, but she needs to know that soy formula is not a
'safer' version than cow's milk formula (if this is the reasoning behind
her choice).>>

Morgan, I've not heard that. I have heard that if a baby is allergic to
bovine protein, there is a 25% (or more -- pick your number) chance they are
ALSO allergic to soy, but I have not heard that it is MORE allergenic. I'd love
to read any research you have on that. Can you share it please? Most of
the practitioners around here go from cow's milk formula to soy to Alimentum or
Nutramigen.
For what it is worth, goat's milk is almost identical to cow's milk in terms
of a heavy electrolyte, mineral, and protein load.
