soy milk and children/infants

[Guest guest]

Angel,

My daughter is 2 1/2 and just starting to self-wean. We use soy milk

and rice milk as ingredients in things and on cereal but don't drink

them by the glass. She doesn't care for them as a beverage and I see

no reason to push it. I guess it's part of my vegan philosophy: we are

the only species that drinks the milk of another species, and we are

the only species that drinks any kind of milk after the age of

weaning. (except maybe for domestic cats that get cow milk, but that's

off on a tangent.) So I figure, if cow milk is unneccessary for

humans, why would it be so important to find a substitute for it? We

just don't really drink milk, period. We get our protein and calcium

from foods.

If I had to wean a child off of breastmilk before three, though, I

would use some kind of substitute milk. Would try to find whatever

came closest in composition to human milk, probably some kind of

animal milk. Haven't looked into it though as that hasn't been our

situation.

Sorry, in rereading your post I realize I didn't address yourspecific

question. Soy isa common allergen and should not be introduced until

at least one year of age (same for wheat, dairy, and peanuts.)

Soy has gotten some really bad press lately. I don't believe all the

doom and gloom that's been written about it, and I still eat tofu and

use some soymilk (love those soy lattes about twice a month) but it

may not be a good idea to have tons of soy in the diet. Some vegans

use it as almost their only protein source, that probably isn't good.

But some soymilk in part of a varied diet should be no problem.

With my first child, I told the dr I was vegan and planned for the baby to be

too. He asked what I eat and when I told him he said it was ok. I guess

because I had a pretty varied and healthy diet. My current baby, 5 months, is

on soy formula because I didn't want her to have cows milk. When she is old

enough to go off formula, about 1 yr, I will give her soy milk and rice milk.

My dr is ok with it. Yesterday he told me in a month we can start meats. I

reminded him that we don't do meat and he said, ok tofu then.

With a family history of seasonal allergies which I know are

would like to limit my daughter's exposure to cow's milk. (I also

I am prepared to buy organic milk if I have to, buy I would rather

My baby is still nursing, though she does get about two bottles of

My question is: based on your experience and your research how

I've done enough research to know that the dairy industry has

I already give my daughter calcium-enriched orange juice and

greens. I have the Calci-yum cookbook and other resources for

vegan cooking, so you don't have to sell me on that. I just have

never seen any info on at what age you can give your child soy

milk and if it should be " limited. "

 

And an interesting side note: On the diabetic diet I was on during

pregnancy, I was supposed to have cow's milk twice a day.

When I told my dietician about Unsw. silk, its carb and protein

counts, she said it would qualify as a milk or a protein food. So, I

put a small amount of decaf coffee (an ounce or two) in a glass

There are some people/groups out there that will give anything a bad wrap. I

believe that the people who are coming out against soy, and say all the

negative things, are funded by the meat and dairy industries. Two industries

that

have huge bucks.

 

I understand some people are allergic to soy, and they should stay away from

soy. Just like the people that are allergic to strawberries (and some people

are!!), should stay away from strawberries.

 

Hope this helps, Tracy

My son is 4 1/2, we are veg not vegan, but my son has always drunk soy

formula or milk. He was on soy foormula because he had reflux, then when he

was a yr old, I gave him cow's milk and he threw it in the floor. I then

tried for a few weeks to get him to drink it by mixing it with his formula.

When that didn't work, I tried soy milks, which I just thought were

revolting (I also hate cow's milk), until I found one he liked. Later came

Silk, which is what we both use now.

 

I've never limited his soy. He drinks a lot of milk and, for a couple of

years, ate a lot of Morningstar Farm. He still eats it at least once a

week, but he used to eat it at least one meal a day, in some form, but has

gotten burned out for now. What's suppose to happen with too much soy?

 

His dr. has always known that's all he drinks and has never been concerned.

And actually, he's had about 3 different dr's and none have thought it was

bad.

 

So, I guess my response it that he introduced me to soy instead of the other

way around. Also, soy milk has iron in it and cow's milk doesn't.

 

BTW, cats shouldn't drink cow's milk. It gives them diarrhea.

I have two girls 7 and 3. Both have been drinking soymilk since they stopped

nursing. They have two to three cups a day. I've had my reservations

throughout the years with all the anti-soy information out there. However,

there's not enough convincing research to make me switch to cow's milk. They

both don't like rice milk, and I feel they need the extra protein. So, soy is

really the only choice for us. My oldest daughter's teacher is from Taiwan.

She said the main drinks she had as a child are soymilk and water. She never

had cow's milk. I'm interested to know how much soy other vegans give their

kids.

Like everything else eat a varied healthy diet. My girls drink soy milk and

have other soy products, but they also get their protein and calcium from other

things too. Just as if you were a meat eater you would not eat all steak, all

the time. And Tracy is probably right, the anti-soy campaign is probably funded

by the meat industry. I used to buy into that anti-soy thing but after doing

some research I decided soy in moderation like everything else.

I agree, besides don't people in Japan eat tons of soy? I heard

that Japanese women don't have hot flashes during menopause

because of the soy

Christine,

 

My daughter (2.5 years) drinks soy milk almost exclusively. She has juice as

well, but throughout the day, she drinks at least 6 glasses of soymilk, and 3

juice. However, she is still drinking out of those really small cups for little

kids, so that probably amounts to 3 cups of soymilk. I give her a waterbottle

filled with water, for the rest of the day, she can drink out of it at will.

 

We do eat a lot of Tofu and TVP, since my husband doesn't much care for seitan.

She seems fine, and so do I. I do try to keep soy in moderation, and not use it

in meals all the time, but it is hard, the only other thing we can all agree on

is beans and rice, and that gets pretty boring to have all the time.

My daughter is vegetarian but she does drink soy milk instead of cow

milk. I would say on average about one glass a day, and sometimes a

little in cereal for breakfast. We occassionally eat other soy

products like TVP, veggie burgers, veggie slices....though we are

trying to limit those as they are so processed. She doesnt much

like tofu so she eats that only on rare occassions.

 

My son (who will be vegan) will soon start weening off of his

daytime breastmilk bottles so we are also trying to figure out what

transition to make with him. Our thought is that two 6 oz bottles

of soymilk a day, is not too much, as he will also be continuing to

breastfeed.

Just a note to others deciding which (if any) " milk " to use to provide

protein, ricemilk is NOT a good source. Try animal milk or soymilk or

nutmilk for that. I love ricemilk, you just can't consider it a

protein food.

[Guest guest]

Thanks Kelly.

In moderation, that's all I was trying to say too. And especially from

traditional, more whole sources like tofu, tempeh, and soymilk. It's

the super- processed isolated proteins in stuff like pre-made " meats "

and TVP that, I feel, are less healthy. And if we look to high-soy

diets from Asia to reassure us that soy is fine, well, they have

always eaten the traditional soyfoods, NOT tons of veggie dogs and

sausage and boca burgers and tvp and such. Not to say that those

things should be cut out entirely, either, but I for one would not

make the processed stuff a daily part of my diet.There are SO many soy

" analogue " products available that it would be easy to eat so many

different foods in a day that SEEMED really varied ( " meats " ,

" cheeses " , " yogurts " , " milks " ), but really are all soy. Maybe the

problem is not with " too much " soy per se but that it can push out

more variety? And all the processed foods can push out more whole

foods in the diet.

I felt like ya'll were too ready to dismiss my comment that it may be

good to take soy in moderation because of the idea that all the

anti-soy hype is just funded by the meat industry. Hey, let's remember

all the pro-soy hype is (mostly)funded by the soy industry. They are

out to make a buck, too. Got to take their hype with a grain of salt,

too, and try to find the truth somewhere in the middle. For instance,

on my soymilk container they recommend eating 25 grams of soy protein

every day. Wow, that's well over half the protein an adult needs, and

they are saying I should get that much from the SAME source, EVERY

day? Sounds like they are just trying to get me to buy more of their

product!

Just some food for thought, I am NOT trying to criticize anyone else's

choices.

My kids drink some soymilk, but they also love homemade cashew milk.

(Nut milks are not appropriate for infants/toddlers, of course)

 

Soak cashews in water overnight

 

Blend soaked cashews, water, and sweetener of choice (I use agave

nectar)

 

Pour mixture through strainer

 

Chill

 

Enjoy!

The " 25g per day of soy protein " that is advertised on the labels of

mmany products is based on the FDA conclusion " that foods containing

soy protein included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol

may reduce the risk of [Coronary Heart Disease] by lowering blood

cholesterol levels " and that " Scientific studies show that 25 grams

of soy protein daily in the diet is needed to show a significant

cholesterol lowering effect " .

 

For more info, refer to:

http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/ANS00980.html

 

I am sometimes skeptical of the FDA guidelines because of the

influence of the Dairy Industry, so, when the FDA comes out in favor

of soy (which cuts into Dairy Industry profits) I'm inclined to

believe what they are saying.

 

No doubt you can have too much of a good thing, and the amount that

is " right " surely varies from person to person.
