Newborns with lactose intolerance can also be breastfed, but lactase should be added before each breastmilk.
Breast milk is rich in lactose, lactose intolerance in newborns is mainly due to the lack of lactase enzyme in the newborn’s body, resulting in breast milk lactose can not be decomposed better, resulting in diarrhea symptoms.
Therefore, appropriate amount of lactase can be given before each breastmilk to avoid diarrhea symptoms, and supplementation of topical lactase can be stopped only when the newborn can produce sufficient amount of lactase by itself. At the same time, the newborn’s odor in the mouth, intestinal sounds, stool properties, etc. should be closely observed to determine the effectiveness of the treatment.
The above medications should be applied under medical supervision and avoid self-administration. Lactose intolerance in newborns, it is recommended to go to the hospital, complete the relevant examination, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out regular treatment.
