« My son is now 6 years old. When he was 6 months old we tried some formula (cow`s) milk on him and just a tiny bit resulted in his body reacting with big rashes immediately all over his body and his lips swelling; it was frightening at the time. My 14 month old son is on soy formula. The Canadian Pediatric Association does not recommend soy formula in milk allergies, but I don`t know if that is because of the unknown effects of phytoestrogens, as our Public Health people indicate, or because of the cross-reactivity of the proteins? Also, what are your thoughts on the research to indicate that soy formula may increase the risk of peanut allergy? »
