lactose intolerant newborn?
My baby girl is 15 days old. I’ve been 100% breastfeeding her since she was born. Lately I’ve noticed that when she eats she gets very fussy, acts as if she’s in pain, and has trouble burping. Also she makes these faces like something tastes bad in her mouth almost like acid reflux face. I’ve done some reading online about lactose intolerance in breastfed baby’s and the symptoms she has seems to sound like lactose intolerance. Does anyone have any experience with a BREASTFED lactose intolerant baby of their own? I’m going to give it a few more days and if she keeps up this behavior i’m going to contact my doctor to see what he recommends.
Before you consider something that rare, try looking at the food you are eating.
What you eat can sometimes affect the taste of your milk. Are you eating spicy foods or strongly flavoured foods. Try eating bland foods for a while and see if that makes a difference. A few days perhaps?
Also consider how you smell. Are you using a new scented bodywash or purfume or deodorant? This could also affect the way the baby tastes your milk. Try wearing nothing scented for a while as well.
Let me know how it goes.
