Soy formula users - when do you switch to soy milk?

[eskimomama]

My DD (9 mo) is allergic to dairy, I'm still BFing her but will need to partially wean her from the breast as I'm going back to work in 2 months.

I was thinking starting her on soy formula during the day (she never had it so far), and keep BFing in mornings and evenings.

I'm not very confident making her drink soy based drinks (risk of hormonal disorders etc.), but I guess at 10/11 months I don't have much choice...?

A dietitian told me it's fine to switch to regular soy milk at 12 months - does anyone have any advice on that?
I wasn't sure if it's too early - until when should I keep feeding her soy formula otherwise?

thanks

Can you ask the GP about prescribing a hypoallergenic formula like Nutrimigen instead? I would be quite reluctant to give soy milk myself.

Or - at 10/11m will be fine to BF when you are around and have water plus food while you are working, so no urgent need for an alternative milk

Thanks - I've been prescribed Neocate but I think it tastes awful, and also don't want to feed my baby with something I find so artificial.
Yes hopefully BF + water/food will work fine at that stage, with maybe the odd soy formula drink every now and then...
