I gave it to my son because he was allergic to milk. He went from breast milk to rice & soy milk... he drank it fine. If its enriched, it has the same nutrients as cows milk (but not the fat)
My 2 1/2 year old has recently (within the last month) been cleared by her allergist to have soy milk. Before she was on elecare as the doc said her allergies were to severe for anything else, but she is now in the clear for soy milk. Rice milk isn't a good substitute because there is no protein in it, even the supplemented kind. Soy milk is great if your child cant have dairy, or if you guys are vegan. The new brands, silk, 8th continent, actually taste good. I even give it to kids who come and play with mine in my house and no ones ever complained. ;;)
@cynthiaY@Gen86 my daughter is one and half..she is also on neocate because of milk allergy..so its my first time trying milk with her I'm also concern about her weight she is a picky eater..I want to know will she lose weight with soy milk
@mama2fn3 well my daughter is also a very picky eater, and with all her allergies I do have to be creative in the food department but soy milk should be fine and not cause her to lose weight. Regular soy will have a decent amount of fat per 8 oz.
