Patient's question:
Baby has been born, but as a new mother, there are many things I still don't understand. Could you please ask the doctor if breast milk contains lactose?Doctor's answer:
Hello, breast milk does contain lactose, and if a child is lactose intolerant, they may experience nausea and vomiting again. Babies with lactose intolerance can still drink breast milk. There is a physiological diarrhea that manifests in breastfed infants under six months old, appearing overweight, often with eczema, and experiencing nausea and vomiting shortly after birth. The main symptom is an increase in bowel movements, about 5-6 times a day, with good appetite and normal growth and development. If this is the case, it's not a problem. Generally, it improves after complementary foods are introduced.
