I don’t think unfermented soy ought to be anything more than an occasional thing in one’s diet. It’s also a common allergen, so I’d leave it until she’s at least one. Most people are not allergic to milk, but to lactose. Cheese and yogurt have little to no lactose because the bacteria digest it for you. For this reason, many people who can’t drink milk have no problem with cheese or yogurt.
As others have said. A child under 6 months shouldn’t be having anything other than breastmilk or formula anyway. Why do you want to give her yogurt of all things? Veggies would be a better start.

First of all, under 6 months should still be nursing or taking formula, secondly no baby until 12 months should be getting cow’s milk unless it’s fermented. A child with milk allergies usually will tolerate fermented cow’s milk in yogurt as the bacteria that makes it yogurt converts the proteins that cause the allergy into bacteria proteins.
Soy milk and soy yogurt do not have enough fats to really be a useful food for a baby or toddler. They’re okay but not a subsitute for formula or breast milk at those ages.
