As above really...
Following on from 2 weeks of diarrhoea whilst weaning onto formula, I took my 11 month DD to the doctors this morning. He wasn't overly interested and basically said that I should go and buy some lactose free formula and see how she goes. So my question is, is the lactose in my breastmilk the same as the lactose in cows milk, and is that the same as the lactose in goats milk?! She's been fine on breastmilk, hence the question. Her dad has a cows milk protein allergy and I think this is more likely with DD but when I suggested that to the doctor he just said that she doesn't need milk for much longer anyway so to just see how lactose free goes?! Doesn't make sense to me and I'd happily buy goats milk or some other alternative but if it IS lactose (or both) that she's intolerant/allergic to then there is also lactose in the goats milk. Confused is an understatement!
