Yes if your child is still very young then she will need to stay on formula milk for all the vitamins /nutrients that she needs...they say that you can introduce milk/soy milk once they are 1yr old and they are eating a balanced diet as well so they will be getting nutrition from not only milk but food also....soy milk is an altenative for those children that cant tolerate cows milk because of the lactose but so is rice milk,almond milk goats milk etc..if your child doesnt have a problem with this then regular milk is ok but she is still able to drink soy its your choice...But it is impotant if you are ever unsure,just ask your peditrician/doctor.good luck

First of all, how old is your baby? Second, dont change formula unless instructed by your pediatrician.
