What to do if your baby is lactose intolerant

  Lactose intolerant babies often have diarrhea because they cannot break down lactose, so it can lead to malabsorption of protein and calcium ions in the body, so what should lactose intolerant babies do? We can start from the following aspects: 1. Drink in small amounts many times: children during the growth period, many dairy products contain trace elements for children are very important, so this time can not completely eliminate dairy products, we can choose to feed the baby in small amounts many times, so that the child can gradually adapt to lactose, long-term down part of the lactose intolerance symptoms are relatively light baby, but also fully adapt to The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of hours. However, it is worth noting that some babies are born with very serious lactose intolerance, so this method is not recommended in this case.  2. Drink goat’s milk: Goat’s milk has the lowest lactose content of all dairy products. So if your baby is lactose intolerant, you can choose to use goat’s milk instead. However, goat milk lacks folic acid, so goat milk can only be a temporary substitute and should not be drunk for a long time.  3. Choose fermented milk instead: There are many dairy products on the market today that are suitable for lactose intolerant patients, and most of these dairy products are made from fermented milk. The lactose content is very low, and the nutritional value is the same as real milk, so babies can choose to use fermented milk instead of milk.  Finally, lactose intolerance is more common in babies around 3 months of age, mainly because the lactase activity in the baby’s intestines is low and cannot fully digest the lactose in the milk, resulting in diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating and other symptoms, such as lactose intolerance, can add lactase or choose a low-lactose formula.
