Does my baby have milk allergy or lactose intolerance ?
Most babies do react badly to cow’s milk in the mother’s diet… in fact, most people are lactose intolerant without knowing it, but this is not true lactose intolerance. People are not really meant to consume milk or dairy after being weaned, but many of us are just used to it, because we started out that way, for a baby’s system it’s new to them, and it’s very tough for them to digest. It is not true lactose intolerance, but it is a reaction to cow’s milk, and the yogurt and butter probably isn’t a significant amount that he actually recieves anything from it in the breastmilk. This is what we call lactose intolerance, commonly in our country, but that does not mean he’s allergic to all lactose, or he would be allergic to breastmilk too, which he is not.
