How should i give Lactoes free milk to my baby!
« on: June 17, 2008, 17:37:20 pm »
Hi all,

Ive been having problems for ages now with my baby (you might have read my other posts).

Ive been total desprate today and got my mate to get me some lactose free milk for her.  How should i give it to her? should i mix the 2 formulars together and intraduce it that way or just go full in.

A touch sweeter than the regular stuff is all.  I did a straight change too back then.

Will there be a difference straight away?

She's only been taking 10/15oz a day for the last few days, i manage to get 1.5oz in her and then she kics off.

Im so desprate.

Hi there.  I posted on your other thread as well.

I agree with the other ladies, just give it to her at all once.  No need to slowly change for that type of switch.

If lactose is the problem, then you should see a difference after a few bottles.

Personally though, I think you should talk to your doctor about trying Soy or Hypoallergenic.  It sounds to me like she could be having some problems with the milk protein itself and not lactose. 

Please update us on your visit tom. from the doctor.
