Is soy formula safe?

Homemade baby formula is a thing. A really big thing actually!

Before becoming a mother, I had heard of some people attempting to make their own baby formula at home. But I certainly had no idea that this topic would generate over 20,000 hits on Google. Nor that so many parents were sharing their recipes online.

Is soy formula safe?

As a vegan parent-to-be looking into feeding options, I came across a ton of information suggesting that soy formula is bad for babies.

Sure, I had planned on breastfeeding, but what if, for one reason or another, it was not possible? Would I be negatively impacting the health of my child by choosing a soy formula?
