Breast milk is the best.
Commercial soy milks also contain vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), the ineffective vegetarian form of vitamin D that offers few of the benefits of true vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and has been linked to hyperactivity, coronary heart disease and allergic reactions. Even the cheapest dairy milks sold in supermarkets use vitamin D3, but soy milk manufacturers use D2, the only form accepted by soymilk-swigging vegans.
Finally, soy milk is high in sugar, a well known bone hazard. Most brands add between 1 teaspoon and 1 tablespoon per glass.

You need to speak to his doctor. Did his doctor give the ok to give him food so young? Rice cereal is usually the best tolerated and you can use some of the soy formula to mix it, and once he has had things like applesauce, strained pears and peaches you can mix those in with it.

Most likely he is allergic to the milk in the formula. You can feed him everything that does not contain milk or lactose...and all the other no-no's for kids like chocolate, nuts and honey.

Just don't give him anything with dairy.
At 4 months he shouldnt be having anything other than formula anyway, so it shouldnt be something youre worried about.
My son is allergic to dairy, and i just don't give it to him. I try to limit our soy intake as much as possible, because there is alot of controversy around it. Stick to fresh fruits and veggies (after your babe is ready for solid food after 6 months.) and just stay away from pre-packaged things... they are more likely to have hidden dairy (whey, "natural flavors", casein...)
