Human milk contains lactose regardless of mom’s diet. So obviously if the baby doesn’t react to breastmilk then the baby is not lactose intolerant. If your baby is allergic to something in the formula it can cause secondary lactose intolerance. Formula also makes reflux worse and more painful. The obvious solution is to get rid of the formula.

It is produced in the breast and is independent of the mother’s consumption of lactose. It is present in a constant concentration in breastmilk.

The soy based formula doesn’t have lactose in it. Sometimes it’s best just to stick with breast milk.
