Understanding Lactose Intolerance

Lactose intolerance occurs when the baby's body cannot properly digest lactose sugar found in milk.

Common Symptoms

  • Bloating and gas
  • Diarrhea after feeding
  • Persistent colic and crying
  • Visible discomfort after consuming milk

What to Do

  • Consult your pediatrician immediately for proper diagnosis
  • Do not stop breastfeeding without medical advice
  • Your doctor may recommend lactose-free milk like BebeLait LF
  • Monitor symptoms and record them to share with the doctor

Remember that lactose intolerance differs from milk allergy, and proper diagnosis is important for choosing the right treatment.
