From yet another friend in need ,lol :
Any advice welcome.
I and my mother have a milk intolerance. I decided to introduce my son to Cow's milk slowly (on his weetabix) from about 8 months. He started to show the same side-effects that I get (excessive mucus, tummy aches), so I switched to soya milk on his cereal and the mucus cleared away almost immediately.
L is now coming up to 12 months old (when toddlers can have milk as a main drink)and I was intending to give him Soya Milk as a daytime drink. A friend has told me however that Soya Milk shouldn't be given to infants at all as there is a potential link with breast cancer (as told by a doctor). I know that men can develop breast cancer as well as women so now I am worried that I'm doing the wrong thing. He only has such a small amount at the moment but when his (non-breast) milk intake increases I'm worrying what to do for the best.
Any advice would be most welcome
