Dr. Melissa Gowans answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Likely CMPI: If your baby had an intolerance to regular formula (cows milk protein) then the likelihood of an allergy to soy protein is high.True lactose intolerance under the age of 3 yrs is rare. See: http://www.isitcowsmilkallergy.co.uk/getting-my-baby-diagnosed/cma-or-lactose-intolerance/
