I was lactose intolerant... went away when I was preggers with DS and he is now 15 months and I am still in the clear. But, DS is now having trouble with homo milk. Nursed until 10 months, started formula at 10mths and tried easing to homo milk at 13, 14 and now 15 months with problems. Was hard to tell if he was reacting to milk or teething... things seem to come at same time.
His symptoms would include decreased appetite and loose stools. Decreased appetite was main difference. Also started refusing yogurt which he used to love. At 13 and 14 months, right after I stopped the milk, he cut a tooth. So, was it the milk or the tooth?
He has never been on milk more than a week... and only made it up to about 2 oz a day total.
Just started again, and we are having same symptoms.
But, he LOVES cheese and seems to have no reaction at all. He also is having Nestle Stage 2 formula with no problems at all. I know the formula is easier to digest, but I would think if he is lactose intolerant he would be reacting.
Ideas? Are these just 3 bad coincidences. Can I try 2%? I used to by lactose free milk, but it only comes in 2%, not homo. Could the homo be too strong?
What should I do???
