Hi,
Based on the history your baby seems to be suffering from lactose intolerance which however needs to be confirmed by suitable tests such as reducing sugar and acidity in the stools or hydrogen breath test. I would suggest soy milk, hemp or oat milk which are lactose free and commonly prescribed to treat lactose intolerance. I also advise a pediatric consultation to find out the exact cause of lactose intolerance and treat accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
