A lot more information is needed to answer this question properly; but if you are in fact referring to a baby up to one year of age, he should not be given soy milk in the first place. The current recommendation is to allow the baby to drink only breast milk or formula for the first year of life with breast milk being preferred when possible. Solids are to be added between 4 and 6 months depending on the baby's readiness, but cow's milk, soy milk, or juice should not be introduced until at least one year of age.
