A member asked:
Can you feed a newborn soy milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why?: The best thing to feed a newborn is mothers breast milk. The need to switch formulas should always be discussed with your baby's doctor, not all formulas are appropriate for all infants. Have the baby checked. Many newborn naturally have adjustment periods to feeds and in many instances the problem is with feeding technique and not with the formula or the ability to digest the formula.
