I've just discovered my son is lactose intolerant.

Until a few months ago, my two year old son was a normal healthy toddler who really enjoyed his food.

Then he suddenly started vomiting after his bottle of cows’ milk and went off his food. I was obviously worried because he was unwell for weeks and I was sure it wasn’t just a bug but I never imagined he could be lactose intolerant as he had been drinking cows’ milk for a year without any symptoms!

I’ve now learned that lactose intolerance can develop at any age. We decided to eliminate the cows’ milk from his diet and after a few days without him being sick he was eating normally again and back to his bouncy self! He now enjoys Lactofree milk and has not even noticed the difference!

I would urge any parent who thinks their child may be lactose intolerant to try eliminating lactose from their diet because thats the only way you’re going to know and there is nothing more distressing than seeing your baby unwell – it worked for us!

Please note: If you think you or your child may have a cows’ milk allergy, you should seek advice from your GP or a registered dietitian. Please note that Lactofree is not suitable for milk allergy sufferers.
