Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi! my 6months 3weeks baby boy has a diarrhea for 1week and 4days now. His pead advise use to change his milk to lactosefree. since then my baby doesnt want to drink much milk. he doesnt want to eat as well. he loose weight in just a week. from 9kg to 8.3kg. he shut his mouth and will not take any food. he just want biscuits.. he has paste like stool. pls help. what should i do
I dont think he is having lactose intolerance. lactose free milk should not be prescribed in this case. Primary lactase deficiency is a very rare disease. You can start lactose containing milk again but as he is more than 6 months add biscuits or puffed rice in the milk. It will be more palatable as well as nutritious.
