Patient's question:
I noticed that my son gets diarrhea after drinking my milk. The doctor said it's lactose intolerance. Could you please tell me what foods moms with lactose intolerance should avoid for their babies?Doctor's answer:
Lactose intolerance is caused by a lack of lactase. It has nothing to do with breast milk, so even if a breastfeeding mother adjusts her diet again, this condition cannot be changed. You can stop breastfeeding and switch to low-lactose formula for feeding. Alternatively, you can implement mixed feeding with breast milk, which will be more effective. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination in a reputable Grade-A hospital as soon as possible according to their own condition, so that they can receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
