Will It Be Safe Enough To Give Soy Milk For A 1year Old Baby?
My one year old just started taking soy milk and is having soles stools every day and very smelly gas. She was on soy formula bc she didn t tolerate regular formula. We tried whole milk but she vomited with that not allergic to milk though so now she is on soy. Are these bowel movements normal

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Soya milk is given temporarily during diarrhea as it causes temporary lactase deficiency.
If there is established milk allergy or primary lactase deficiency.
As the child is one year old better give normal foods like boiled rice with milk,buttermilk ,curd or moong dal.
Youmay also try vegetable soups, fruit juices,biscuits and even soft bread.
Hope this answer serves your purpose .
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
