The mother was trying to raise the baby vegan.🤬

See? 8g per cup vs under 1g per cup.
adding soy turns your almond water into food though, like most USA products do
I'm happy to agree with you about the protein, but when you claim that:
.
"...WRONG!!! USA brands of so-called ALMOND MILK have over 40 (forty) times as much soy than almond.
Its all soy. Almonds comprise only 2% OR LESS the ingredients in almond milk. I thought everyone knew this
Apparently Store-Bought Almond Milk Doesn’t Actually Contain Almonds:

ALMOND MILK is actually SOY MILK in USA ..."

You were wrong about the soy content, used seven year old data that's obviously not valid, at least in the case of the BD product.
You provided a lot of (seemingly) good data on soy in your prior comment (that I saved to delve into later), above, but your overly-emotional reaction to your fellow anon isn't gaining you any followers, anon. Do you want to turn people off with your caustic condescension or do you want to provide useful, current/accurate information on the health concerns regarding soy in a reasoned, calm and intelligent manner? Your choice.
That's all he is, all the time. Nonstop assholery.
Never understood the GAW deep emotional reaction to "vegan" - it seems to touch a nerve with many folks. I am in favour of people eating whatever the hell they like without being hated on for wrongthink.
Not saying almond milk is suitable for newborns, because it isn't. Then again I don't think animal milk is suitable for them either. If the mother cannot breastfeed (does happen surprisingly frequently) then OK cow milk will have to do, but it is a poor substitute.
The closest I got to vegetarianism was several years in my youth of not eating beef or pork and then I was careful to read up on it and supplement with B12. I grew up eating lots of beef, eat very little of it these days, but I agree that people should make their own choices - preferably informed ones. I like almond milk in occasional cereal, not for "health" reasons. I'm happy to use whole milk and cream in cooking and drinks and try to avoid soy for health reasons.
The post here is sobering and if I had to guess I'd say the impressionable young mother thought she was helping her newborn. Too stupid and idealistic to know you need to be researching anything you give to your infants, especially, and young children to eat or drink. Having been deprived of proper vitamins, nutrients, protein and such to such an extent, I pray that child does not have irreversible physical damage.
I agree with the live-and-let-live attitude towards adults, but have to say that I've met several vegans and vegetarians over the years and they're not nearly as healthy as those who eat meat and get healthy exercise.
are you fucking kidding? This persona NEVER turns the other cheek. It is merely always factually correct and interesting. You sound vaxxed and boosted.
