dd was lactose intolerant till 6mth fine now, but what do i do about introducing cows milk?

[lilsmum]

dd 10.5 mth had lactose intolerance from birth till 6 mth (she was on sma LF) she has been on normal formula since 6 mth and has been fine, i have used cows milk on cereal every now and then and she seemed ok but what do i do about introducing cows milk as her morning and bedtime drink? can you mix formula with cows milk? i.e to gradually introduce it? or should i just give her a drink of cows milk with her breakfast and see how she is?

wait until she's a year old then just switch over when you finish your last formula can .. DS never noticed

I would guess she'll be fine, too, Lilsmum (lactose wise). You can mix formula & milk if you want, if she finds the transition easier.

thanks for the replies
will do as twiglett says prob and c how she goes

I was just thinking about this

if you've any hint that she might be lactose intolerant still I would give her her first milk drink in the morning .. then you can watch her for any reaction

yeah thought that meself, thanks twiglett x

Hi,
just thought i'd join in here, ds1 and ds2 were lactose intolerant, ds1 was'nt diagnosed until about 3 months, and was'nt able to cope with cows milk until he was 5yrs, with ds 2 i recognised it almost straight away and now at 18 months he is down to half formula and half cows milk mixed and tolerating it.
