at 18 months she should be ready to switch over entirely. Soy would not be appropriate for a child unless she has milk allergies. Feed her whole milk, it's incredibly important for her brain development.

Of course. My daughter is 18 months old and fed exclusively with breast milk. We want to wean her soon, so we are looking for alternatives.

Most animal feed is soy-based. What effect does that have? Also, why would a vegan/vegetarian be against breast milk exactly? And finally: does anyone have any info on the effect of large soy consumption on males? I've been vegetarian for 6 months and trying to go vegan (mostly for past 1.5 months) so my soy consumption is at an all time high. Thanks!
By "formula" you mean fake milk?

Something to note is that 93 percent of soy grown in the United States is genetically modified [0]. [0]: https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/adoption-of-genetical...
Also worth noting what kind of GE we're talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_soybean tl;dr: mostly pesticide resistance. That has significant environmental/economic consequences, but those edits (probably) don't change how soy interacts with endocrine receptors.
Pesticide resistant crops being completely doused in glyphosate right before harvest probably does have an impact on health though.

Clearly worth investigation, but when I hear arguments about soy being a serious endocrine disruptor, I can't help but wonder about the hundreds of millions of people throughout Asia eating it daily...
