Hi,

My name is Alice and my son was born 11 days early on Jan 25th 2009 weighing 8lb 8oz.
I have two older daughters aged 5 and 3 who are absolutely gorgeous.
My second daughter had lactose and dairy intolerance from birth and now it seems my son also has lactose intolerance.
I have tried to substitute at around 6 weeks with lacteeze drops (which worked with my daughter for 4 and a half months yet only with below average weight gain) and also tried to substitute with s-26 LF formula after feeds since his weight gain was only 15gm in 10 days. It is hard to have it happen to me twice yet you have no other option but deal with it. I recently had to stop breast feeding altogether since he would not want to feed since he was in so much severe pain and would suck for between 5 seconds to 3 mins max before extreme crying even with constnt perseverance he would no relatch at all and was happiest when on the bottle.
I would like to encourage any moms out there that if this may unfortunately happen to them that placing you baby on formula is definately fine since my daughter who turns 4 on the 24th of July blossomed and developed excellently even though she was put on a fully soy based formula. (ie. she walked at 9 months, talked like a maniac and has progressed at and above average development.)

Regards,

Alice
