poop and soy milk?

Question

my baby has recently been switched to soy milk and his poop smells REALLY bad! i know poop smells, but this is ridicilous, it never smelt like that when he was on regular formula. so if his smells like this does that mean that adults smell like that if they drink soy milk?

Answer 1

One of the children in my daycare drank soy formula and then onto soy milk as he got older and I thought his poops were absolutely disgusting smelling. He could actually stink up a huge gymnasium at the playgroup we go to. I could tell from across the park he had pooped and the other providers thought it was funny and were quick to tell me to change him!! I think it just didn't smell like the rest of the kids' poops because we all ate the same things 9 hours a day and I could gag when I changed him and toilet trained him. I found out just recently that while I had him on a diet with no cow protein, whey or dairy products, for the last 3 years,his parents were still giving him other types of cow products and since they have finally stopped too, his poops aren't so toxic.

Just be careful of Soy milk... it can cause problems in infants... ask the doctor if you are worried.

A baby under one-year-old should be drinking neither soy milk nor cow's milk, but rather should be drinking breastmilk or a formula that can be either soy based or dairy based.

Most pediatricians recommend a dairy based formula for infants because it more closely matches breastmilk. Both formulas will provide comparable nutrition because they are required to meet strict government standards regarding nutrient levels.

Soy formulas are prescribed for baby's with a dairy allergy (or potential dairy allergy), lactose intolerance, or digestive upset from dairy formula. Soy is as potentially allergenic as is cow's milk and some babies are allergic to both in which case a hypoallergenic formula is required.

Soy contains hormone-like compounds called phytoestrogens. These compounds are currently under debate and researchers are trying to determine what effect, if any, they may have on a baby.

Once a baby turns one-year-old, and has progressed to table foods, the choice between soy milk and dairy milk is an individual matter. If a child is allergic to milk, is lactose intolerant or for some reason cannot tolerate or dislikes milk, or is being raised in a vegan vegetarian family, a soy milk is a better choice. However, it should not be lowfat, and it should be vitamin and mineral fortified. For most toddlers, cow's milk is generally a better choice because it is more nutrient dense and naturally contains more vitamins, protein and minerals than does soy milk. A one-year-old still needs a diet relatively high in fat. Milk is a big source of fat in an infant's diet, offsetting an expanded food repertoire that includes lower fat foods such as fruits, vegetables and grains.

Milk naturally contains a readily absorbable form of calcium, and has higher quality protein than soy milk. The ratio of protein, fat, and carbohydrates are also a good balance for baby. By one year, an infant's digestive track has matured enough to be able to handle the protein content of cow milk, which prohibits its use prior to that.
