Can babies eat lactase tablets?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my baby has been with me since birth, and it's been two months. He often has watery, lactose-fermented stools and cries frequently. After examination, it was found that the baby is lactase deficient. Please ask the doctor if the baby can take lactase tablets?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: After the examination, the baby was given Montmorillonite, probiotics, and other medications for diarrhea, but it was said that there was no cure, so it has been delayed. What help do you need: Please ask the doctor if the baby can take lactase tablets? If not, please help me think of other solutions.

Doctor's answer:

From your description, it seems likely that the child has caught a cold or that the high fat content in the breast milk has caused recurrent breast milk-induced nausea and vomiting. For relief, if the child's weight is growing normally, it can be considered as breast milk-induced nausea and vomiting. Generally, it does not require special treatment, just pay attention to preventing colds, drink more water appropriately, and avoid oily foods for the mother, such as pork belly and pig trotters. Eat some probiotics that are beneficial to the intestines appropriately. At the same time, take good care of the skin around the anus, using warm water to rinse after each bowel movement.
