Warning- Feeding soy to infants

I have to admit, I LOVE Morningstar and Bocca Soy "chicken" patties. They just taste better to me. I was told that when trying to conceive and when you are pregnant, you shouldn't eat soy, but I didn't think about it after nor gave it a second thought when I gave it to my son as a new table food.
Although recently soy has gotten a lot of good press, you should be aware of the "dangers" of giving it to your infant. Mainly, the concern is the estrogenic effects that soy can have on your baby, especially if you have a boy.
I have attached a link for you to read more about the topic.
