Soy, Milk Formulas Equal for Babies’ Brains

Babies develop normally when they are fed either breast milk or formula, a new study confirms. Babies’ brains developed equally well when fed either cow’s milk or soy formulas. Those who got breast milk had slightly better learning and thinking skills. The study was based on tests of 391 healthy infants. They received tests of mental development at ages 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. The journal Pediatrics published the study online May 28.
