Introduction

Soy and Infant Formula

Experts agree that breast milk is the best choice of food for infants. However, when breastfeeding is not possible, infant formulas may be used. Australian studies show that babies are mainly fed infant formula during their first 12 months 1 . Figures from the New Zealand Ministry of Health indicate that 50% of infants are breast fed at three months of age.
