1. Soy milk is suitable for obese babies to drink instead of milk. Soy milk is healthier than drinking milk for obese babies because the glycemic index of soybeans is 15%, while that of milk is 30%. However, if the baby is in the growth and development period, the demand for fat is still very large. It is not recommended to use soy milk instead of milk for the baby. It is best to drink both milk and soy milk.

2. Soy milk is suitable for babies who are allergic to lactose . Milk contains lactose, and 70% of Asians cannot absorb lactose. Soy milk contains oligosaccharides, which are 100% absorbed by the human body. 3. Soy milk can enhance the baby's resistance. Soy milk is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, soybean saponins, lecithin and dozens of other substances that are beneficial to the human body. These substances have the function of enhancing the baby's immunity. In addition, soy milk also contains 5 anti-cancer substances.

4. Please note that some mothers think that since eggs boiled in milk are very nutritious, then adding eggs to soy milk and feeding it to the baby will definitely be nutritious as well. In fact, it's just the opposite. Because the sticky protein (egg white) in eggs will combine with the trypsin in soy milk to produce substances that are not easily absorbed by the human body, causing both eggs and soy milk to lose their original nutritional value. In addition, it is best not to let your baby drink soy milk on an empty stomach. Most of the protein in the soy milk will be converted into calories and digested in the human body, and the nutrients cannot be fully absorbed by the baby. It is best for mothers to let their babies eat some snacks, bread, steamed buns and other starchy foods while drinking soy milk, so that the nutrients can be fully absorbed and utilized by the baby.
