Mamanya Dafi Could my baby be lactose intolerant? It's highly unlikely. If your baby is truly lactose intolerant, it means that he was born without the ability to produce lactase, the enzyme necessary to digest lactose, the primary sugar in cows' milk and breast milk, but this condition is extremely rare in babies. (Between 5 and 15 percent of Caucasians and more than 80 percent of people of African and Asian descent eventually become lactose intolerant, but symptoms don't usually start until later in childhood or early adulthood.) A baby born lactose intolerant would be very sick right from birth. He would fail to thrive or gain weight because he would not be able to digest breast milk or formula and would need to be put on a special diet right away to survive. That said, if your otherwise healthy newborn has very watery stools and is passing a lot of gas, he may have what is known as functional lactase deficiency, which means that he's not yet able to completely digest lactose. This is a temporary condition that's common in the first few weeks of life and may even persist for several months. As long as your baby is gaining weight, he'll be fine and the problem will eventually go away on its own. If you're breastfeeding, your doctor may recommend that you try to get your baby to empty one breast before offering the other to make sure that he gets as much of the more high-fat hind milk as possible. This may reduce his diarrhea. (Lactaid drops don't seem to be of any use for this condition.) If your baby is more than a few months old and starting to have a reaction, such as a rash, fussiness, or even diarrhea or vomiting, he may be allergic to dairy proteins. Finally, some babies become temporarily lactose intolerant after a gastrointestinal illness or taking a course of antibiotics, which can damage the lining of a normal digestive tract and render it unable to produce as much lactase as usual for a few days or even a few weeks. (Irritation from a food allergy can cause this same reaction.) If this is the case with your baby, he may have gas or diarrhea after a feeding. If your baby seems to be in severe distress, you can ask your doctor if you should alternate breastfeeding with a lactose-free formula for a while, or even temporarily wean your baby onto this kind of formula while he heals. ----from babycenter---- --- Nila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear neterrs..... > Berkaitan dengan judul diatas aku juga mo nanya > seputar lactose. > Yang dimaksud dengan lactose itu apa ya.....???? > (ketinggalan banget > ya...hiks).
