Baby situation, many people can not tell the baby is lactose not tolerate or milk protein allergy can not be “right”, then how are we to distinguish between lactose intolerance and milk protein allergy it?
In fact, we can judge with only three simple tricks!
First, see if the baby does not have diarrhea when eating breast milk. If you eat breast milk and have diarrhea, you may also have diarrhea after eating milk powder. Then it is likely to be lactose intolerant.
Second, look at the characteristics of stool. If your baby has sour, smelly, and foamy stools, it is likely to be lactose intolerant.
Third, if the baby has diarrhea with milk powder and also has eczema, it may be related to milk allergy.
If your baby has lactose intolerance, you need to eat lactose-free special medical formula foods. If your baby is allergic to milk protein, you need to choose moderate hydrolysis, deep hydrolysis and amino acid special medical formula foods according to your baby’s different allergies. What needs special reminder is that these two allergies may appear on the baby at the same time, so we should pay attention to choosing the “hydrolyzed” milk powder without lactose added in the ingredient list when choosing special powder.
