lactose overload??

[LuluHB]

I'm heading into hospital tomorrow with DD#2 for lactose issues - not lactose overload - and my baby does everything you describe yours as doing. Sorry to say something negative, but not all babies do grow out of it at 3 months. Mine hasn't - if anything, she's getting worse. DD#1 also had the same issues. DD#1 went onto soy formula and that took care of all her problems. DD#2 is going to be tried with a lactose free formula first, and we will then try the soy. I have eliminated all dairy from my diet and it didn't significantly help either of my daughters. I'm seeing a paediatric allergist with DD#2 and have to agree with Christy that they are absolutely the better way to go. With DD#1 the immediate diagnosis by GPs, CHNs and "normal" paeds was colic, followed by reflux, followed by suggestions of sleep schools!

If you don't think your baby has colic/wind etc, please find yourself a paed who will listen to what you say, and not dismiss it with what seems the standard "but they'll grow out of it soon" line.
