Soy formula may be given to infants with galactosemia or lactase deficiency or those whose families are vegetarians. Soy milk is derived from the protein of soybeans and supplemented with amino acids. The formulas are also used for infants with malabsorption disorders. The preterm infant may require a more concentrated formula, with more calories in less liquid. Modifications of other nutrients are also made. Human milk fortifiers can be added to breast milk to adapt it for preterm infants. Low-phenylalanine formulas are needed for infants with phenylketonuria, a deficiency in the enzyme to digest phenylalanine found in standard formulas.
