really worried, please advise...
My Baby's just been diagnosed as being lactose intolerant. I find this so hard to believe but everything's making sense now. I thought it was bad reflux all this time.. Anyway, I'm mainly breastfeeding him with the occassional top up. I am going to see the doc about this, but right now he's just told me to change nothing. I'm not at all keen on soy milk. Does anyone have any experience and / or advice on what to do, formulas to try, etc. Am really worried... My daughter, who's now four, loves milk so much - I never thought of lactose intolerance as a possibility in my baby boy!

It's good that you've found out what was wrong with your little boy, hopefully he'll start feeling better soon.

Really hope so...
I now drink soy or rice milk and use this in his food etc but we have just been advised to use a soy based formula for his food etc instead such as Infasoy, Farleys Soy or Wysoy.
If he is on solids, the alpro soya yogurts are good, I eat these too.
It is a bit of a pain and hopefully your bab will grow out of it but if you can try some alternatives hopefully it will help his sickiness.
Apparently this kind of thing is becoming a lot more common so hopefully some more (even better) alternatives might come on the market in the near future.
Good luck hun and hope things improve soon xx
We also see a nutritionist and will be starting to introduce some dairy at about 12 months to see how things go, most babies will grow out of lactose intollerance after about 1 year.
