Illustration
Many of new parent have confused to give the baby milk, ether Soy based or Cow based milk formula. However, breast feeding is one of very best method to provide the good nutrition to babies. But of course mother should eat so much good food with a lot of nutrition for make the breast milk become good.

At some case, mother can not always give the breastfeeding milk because of some problem. Then giving the baby formula become the only choice for her/him. Not every baby able to receive the formula milk especially milk based formula. Usually, the problems for unfit formula is such as allergy or diarrhea. Baby with dairy allergy or have pottentially diary allergy, or lactose intolerance, or digestive upset should get soy based formula. If the baby also allergic with soy based formula, then the baby should required using hypoallergenic formula.

Most doctor or pediatricians usually give recommendation to use cow based formula for the baby, because the cow base formula is more closely matches with mother breastmilk. Both formulas will provide comparable good nutrition, because both milk are required to meet strict standards regarding nutrient levels for baby.

Research find out that soy based which is gave to baby had a negative impact in health in young adulthood. The research compared 2 groups of adults to find the significant difference between them. Dr. Brian Strom from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, chief author of the report, and his colleagues based their conclusion upon 30 measurements. They have analyzed puberty and sexual development; menstruation, fertility and reproductive history; height, weight, and current health. The researchers also asked the men and women in the study about cancer, sexual orientation and education.
