Hello Doctor!!! First of all how are you. My 11th month old baby girl is on top feed since from birth. She was admited twice in NICU due to Diarrhea/low hemoglobin, doctor told she has lactogen intolerance, now she is having Lactogen-2. From last two days she got loose motions. Please suggest something.Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the ChatDoctorTrue lactose intolerance usually shows up in the grade-school or teen years.

If your baby has had a severe case of diarrhea, his body may temporarily have trouble producing lactase, and he may have symptoms of lactose intolerance for a week or two. Some medications can also cause the body to produce lower levels of lactase, causing temporary lactose intolerance.
