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.
