I don't think it's reasonable to say "often". It seems like known cases were heavily covered in the press and involved criminal prosecutions. From what I can see, it seems to have been running around one death per year in developed countries.
I agree that it's clearly a life-threatening risk to give babies vegetable milk as a substitute for breastfeeding or formula.

- schoen 9y agoI almost want to say that this is so rare as not to constitute a pattern, but on reflection I think you're right.
