Like peanuts, soybeans
are legumes. A soy allergy is more prevalent among babies than older
children. About 30% to 40% of infants who are allergic to cow's milk
are also allergic to the protein in soy formulas. A soy allergy is
an abnormal response of the body to the proteins found in soy. Soy
can be found in many different products and really checking the labels
is the only solution to helping your child. Infants on formula may
be advised by their pediatrician to change to a Nutramigen type formula.
This type of formula is created for babies with soy or milk allergies.
Some of the most common foods to avoid that contain soy
or soy derived ingredients are:
 |
Hot cocoa mixes |
 |
Baked goods, such as cakes or cookies |
 |
Malt beverages |
 |
Hard candies |
 |
Fruit drink mixes |
 |
Nut candies |
 |
Pork link sausage |

Fudge and caramels |
 |
Deli/luncheon meats |
 |
Worcestershire sauce |

Toddlers are picky enough eaters and it is hard enough to
find foods they will eat, but these foods are all soy-free. Always
double check labels as food manufacturers change ingredients often.
Most products now have a label that says, “This product contains soy,”
but always double check. |
