The 'Parents Dealing with Lactose/Milk Protein Intollerence' Thread

Ffion is 11 months and she is Lactose Intollerent and Rhys is 2 years and 5 months and he is Milk Protein Intollerent.

Lets use this thread to support eachother and swap ideas for weaning and share our experiences of how to cope with illness caused by dairy products!

Only just seen this hun

Seth is 11 1/2 months and is lactose intolerant, we only fouund out a few weeks ago but we've had problems pretty much since his birth.

archie is lactose intolerant we found out about 4 weeks ish ago but i knew for a while before doctor diagnosed him as his daddy is too

hes on wysoy atm as gp said lf milk is v expensive to perscribe but archie is doing loads better on it

i know i dont need to do it yet but am wondering what to do when weaning time comes as tonnes of the baby food jars and powdered breakfast contain milk and arent lactose free

hi louise we are doing BLW with ffion which means that you dont give purees (more info http://www.babycentre.co.uk/baby/sta...abyledweaning/ ) which means you can give them lacto free things.. or you could always make your own purees.. its not as hard as people think!


oh and ffion is on SMA LF

Hi there, im not a parent yet, but I do have Lactose/Dairy intolerences, so hope I can have a sneaky peak at your ideas x

Ive been trying the Lactofree Milk, Yoghurts and Cheese, I really like the yoghurts and the milk doesnt taste any different to normal milk but still has dairy in it so can only have small amounts of it, the cheese is a bit rubbery but better than goats cheese! anybody else used these yet? xx

Noah is lactose and milk protein intolerent, as were all my others, at the moment he is on Pregestimil milk xx

Well Hayden couldn't handle me having any dairy while nursing him and couldn't handle it himself either. So we had him tested for allergies which all came back negative but his body def couldn't tolerate it. He is 20mo now and has outgrown it for the most part, but still can only handle small amounts of milk so he mostly has rice milk. But we went through all the weaning and all that with him not being able to have it so I kno how hard it can be. I never realized just how much has dairy in it before this

Can you please post the symptoms of this? I think Helena might be.

I think it's different for every child but Hayden when it was him nursing he got a horrible rash which at first looked like baby acne but got worse and worse, I have pics i you wanted to compare if she has that. He would get really gassy. He will also vomit if he actually takes it too much. he does this with bananas, soy, avocado and tomato too. Some babies get constipated...landon had to have lactose free formula until 6mo. And some babies get diarrhea

We THINK Grady might have lactose issues... Had a lot of problems with the breastfeeding, and now that he's on a lactose free formula, he seems to be much better. So I'm assuming that was indeed the problem. Hasn't been proven by a doctor or anything though.
