It said they were giving him soy milk, not soy formula.
I think a baby wouldn’t be able to properly digest soy milk, just like they can’t really digest cow’s milk.
This isn’t really a “vegan” thing. At 6 weeks the baby isn’t going to be eating any meat anyway — we didn’t feed our child any meat-like stuff for a year (we did breast-feed, and did the normal peas, rice, etc).
Apple juice is OK for babies, I wouldn’t at 6 weeks, but it’s no substitute for formula.
Their mistake seems to have been not using a baby formula. That’s not a “vegan” thing, that’s a leftie “evil formula company” thing in all likelyhood.
True but they would be getting dairy proteins (which vegans wont eat) and also contain heavy calories. so yes, this is a vegan thing.

Juice, before 5-6 months, should be used sparingly and cut with water. Apple juice is a dieretic which is not something you want to give to a baby with dietary problems. I give my daughter a little grape juice with her cereal (she is 6mo) to counter any constipation she might encounter.

Actually there are organic formulas with no animal proteins out there (earths best comes to mind) but they would contain but it is unnaturally supplemented with things found in animal protein (like B-12) so again this was probably a vegan thing.. And a stupidity thing..
Our daughter was six months old. My wife was holding her as my wife ate her dinner (the daughter had already eaten). Mrs Mag dropped a piece of meatloaf on her arm, set her fork down and looked at our little girl happily gumming and swallowing.
The only effect it had on her is she slept the night for the first time. Meat was on the menu after that.
