Will Infant Diagnosed With Lactose Intolerance To NAN Causing Weight Loss, Be Affected By Breast Milk Also?

Hi Doctor, I have a 24 old baby who has been diagnosed as lactose intolerant to NAN. he has been admitted to hospital after weight loss and dehyradation, can he become lactose intolerant to breast milk, what alternatives can he drink now ? But he could digest NAN when he was even 2 weeks old, so we are really worried for him

Hi...Greetings from Chennai. After going through your question in detail - this is my opinion and this is what I would have done if I were your treating pediatrician.
Possibility -
1. Cow's milk protein allergy is a strong possibility.

Suggestions -
1. Mother should go off the cow’s milk products completely - including biscuits and chocolates and all products related to milk.

2. Continue exclusive breast feeding and...
If it is not sufficient you can opt for Zerolac.

3. Cow's milk protein intolerance in transient as it will go off as the kid grows up.
4. Avoid all cow's milk products till the kid is 1 year age.
5. Mother's milk is the best for good growth of the baby. Rather than stopping mother's milk, it is best for the mother to avoid all milk products and continue breast feeding.
