MY BABY Pro-Soya

My Baby Pro-Soya is a soy protein isolate-based, lactose-free Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) for use from birth to 5 years. Exclusive breastfeeding remains the WHO gold standard; however, cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA), congenital lactase deficiency, severe secondary lactose intolerance after gastroenteritis, and dietary or religious restrictions can require a nutritionally complete alternative under medical supervision.

It uses purified, non-GMO soy protein isolate fortified with L-methionine, L-carnitine and taurine (reported PDCAAS 1.0), with 0% lactose, HMO 2'-FL and the probiotic L. reuteri DSM 17938.

Clinical focus: CMPA, lactose intolerance, galactosemia and vegan/religious dietary requirements — under medical supervision.

Bioavailability & synbiotic support

Modern enzymatic processing and high-temperature short-time (HTST) heat treatment deactivate heat-labile anti-nutritional factors, and fortification offsets phytate-related mineral binding to maintain zinc, calcium and iron. 2'-FL with GOS and FOS and the live probiotic L. reuteri DSM 17938 form a synbiotic matrix that promotes beneficial Bifidobacteria.

International guidelines

Information for healthcare professionals.

• AAP: accepts soy formula for term infants with galactosemia, hereditary lactase deficiency, or where a vegetarian diet is required. For CMPA, extensively hydrolysed or amino-acid formulas are generally preferred; soy may be considered in infants over 6 months.
• ESPGHAN: advises against soy formula in the first 6 months of life because of isoflavone content; accepts use after 6 months for cow's-milk-protein intolerance or religious/vegan diets.
• National (Bangladesh): compliance with the Breast-milk Substitutes Act, IPHN registration, BSTI standardisation (BDS CAC 72) and Halal certification.

Selection should follow the infant's age, diagnosis and current guideline recommendations.

To prevent hyperosmolar diarrhoea or nutritional insufficiency, reconstitute exactly: 1 level 4.5 g scoop per 30 ml of previously boiled water.

Safe reconstitution & handling

Powdered infant formula is not a sterile product. Use freshly boiled water, wash hands and sterilise utensils, and follow current WHO/FAO guidance (water kept at or above 70°C when mixing, then cooled to feeding temperature). Feed promptly and discard any feed left standing beyond 1 hour. Never re-feed stored leftovers. Always follow the product label and national regulator instructions.
