Mom Wondering About Soy Formula

I have a 7 week old boy, on milk based formula he spit most of his bottle up after. So we swithed him to soy and he does not spit up half as much and is not so fussy all the time. My doctor told me that I should try him on lactose free as soy has estrogen in it and that boys do not need that of course. He stated that it would not hurt him to be on soy and that he could take it if the other does not work. Has any one else heard of this soy and estrogen thing before?
