CLINICAL REPORT

Use of Soy Protein-Based Formulas in Infant Feeding

Jatinder Bhatia, MD, Frank Greer, MD and the Committee on Nutrition

Soy protein-based formulas have been available for almost 100 years. Since the first use of soy formula as a milk substitute for an infant unable to tolerate a cow milk protein-based formula, the formulation has changed to the current soy protein isolate. Despite very limited indications for its use, soy protein-based formulas in the United States may account for nearly 25% of the formula market. This report reviews the limited indications and contraindications of soy formulas. It will also review the potential harmful effects of soy protein-based formulas and the phytoestrogens contained in these formulas.

Key Words: soy protein • infant formula • infant feeding • cow milk protein allergy • nutrition • galactosemia • vegetarian

Abbreviations: AAP—American Academy of Pediatrics • IgE—immunoglobulin E
