Did your child grow out of an intolerance to milk or lactose?

If yes, how & when? How did you find out, when did they grow out of it?

When Matilda first had milk, she would have diarrhoea for 1-2 days afterwards and as we were introducing it slowly we worked it out pretty quickly. We discussed with our GP who was a dietician as well and she suggested staying on formula/toddlers milk until she was 2 and during that time every few months trialling milk and see how we go. Until now, every 50mls of milk Matilda would drink would come out in 4-6 runny nappies the next day. She could eat products with milk or dairy cooked in them, but not uncooked. Yogurt was fine though.

So here we are she is just over 2 and this week we have started adding 50mls of milk here or there in things like cereal, milo drinks etc...so daily she has had 50mls of milk on its own. Still waiting for the diarrhoea to start, but I think we will start increasing her milk intake & see how we go.
