Question : My 1 year old poop really burns his skin. My husband is lactose intolerant so I am thinking so is my baby. My Lil one has been drinking whole milk for one month. I constantly change his diapers but with the poop diapers it's still not enough. He also has eczema. I breaks my heart when it gets to his man parts and burns his skin. What milk can I give him?

Brief Answer:
Avoid milk. Get him transitioned to semisolids

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

After one year of age milk is just an optional component of diet provided that the nutritional components can be procured from elsewhere. With your husband having lactose intolerance and child having these issues, it is likely that your child too is lactose intolerant. So whole milk or milk as a whole would do more harm than good and I would insist you to avoid it altogether. You can give Nutraminigen when needed but get transitioned entirely to semisolids. You can practically give an adult diet low in spices but in mashed or pounded form. Try one new food item every week and stick to it for the week gradually building up on the quantity.

Hope that helps. Feel free to contact me back in case you have any further questions.
