Lactose intolerance: It may be that your baby is lactose intolerant. A 7 month old baby who is eating 3 "meals" per day should only be drinking between 18-24 oz of formula. If he is refusing it, and is showing gassiness, soft stool or stomach discomfort, he may be lactose intolerant. Try a formula not based on cows milk, or give goat milk instead.
