The indications for soy infant formula were critically reviewed by doing a search through standard search-engines such as Pubmed. The strict medical indications for soy infant formula (SIF) are limited to galactosemia and hereditary lactase deficiency. In the treatment of cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA), SIF is mainly used, preferably after the age of 6 months, for economic reasons or if infants refuse to drink bitter tasting extensive hydrolysates. SIF is better tolerated in infants with Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated CMPA than in infants with non-IgE mediated CMPA. SIF is dissuaded mainly because of its ‘phytoestrogen’ content. Isoflavone serum levels are much higher in infants fed SIF than in breastfed or cow milk formula fed infants. Administration of pure isoflavones to animals causes decreased fertility, but clinically relevant adverse effects of SIF in infants have not been reported. SIF remains an option for feeding term born infants if breastfeeding is not possible and if cow’s milk based infant formula is not tolerated.
