How do i switch my lactose intolerant baby off formula and onto lactose-free cow milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mixing: Add some lactose free milk to each formula feeding, slowly increasing the lactose free milk portion. This will mask the taste initially, and the baby will be tolerant to the new milk taste.
