You may try it, as milk based formula is safer than soy based. However it will probably make absolutely no difference when it comes to introducing milk.
Here is some info on formula:

And why your daughter isn't lactose intolerant, though she may be sensitive to milk protein:

Yes it should be allright to try a different formula, providing the doctor hasn't specified the iron for a reason.

you mean from regular to soy? she might not take the lactose in the regular very well because soy has no lactose. is your baby constipaited? give her prune jucie or apple juice diluted with 3 parts water, 1 part juice.

just try it and see how she goes if she is lactose intolerant or any other allergies it may not be a good idea but there is no harm in trying new things

before switching, just to be safe, i would talk to your babies doctor to find out if your baby could have a reaction

i would say its okay...my sister did when my niece and nephew was 5 months olds....but it might not be the same for your baby..i would try it and see and if she has any reactions to it then stop it quickly....also you might want to ask your pediatrician if its safe...

i don't think that would be too wise right now. ask her doctor and see what he says. good luck.
