What does lactose sensitivity in a breast fed baby look like? I’m exclusively pumping at the moment…

It could be spit up, it could be mucous in the poop, could be blood in the poop. Butt rashes etc

Here ya go momma

I mean if you notice he does it when you consume dairy that’s a pretty good indication but it could also be gas/fussiness after feedings, sore bum when you change him, rashes on the body etc.

@k_nc, I’m just not 100% sure because since I’m pumping and I’ve fed him from the bags I’ve had stored and can’t remember for exactly sure or not if those ones were pumped when I drank milk. Like I’m 75% sure but still don’t remember. He has a lot of gas in general. I use Dr Browns bottles but he seems to have so much gas. I burp him after every ounce as wel.

@kayladawn9715, I would say cut out all dairy for 2 weeks (that’s how long it takes to filter out of your milk) and see if there’s any improvement. My son was the same I couldn’t have any dairy and had to donate all the milk I pumped because I was consuming dairy during that time. It sucks and it’s a long process but it might be really beneficial for you guys!

@k_nc, thank you!! I guess I’ll have to give it a go! Either it’s the milk or it’s from too much gas getting trapped in his stomach. I don’t know. I’ll try with cutting out dairy though

Do you mark your pumped milk? Make sure it’s date AND timed and specify that it’s after you stopped dairy.

@cfjones914, I do! I mark the oz’s and date and time

@kayladawn9715, good luck! I hope it helps!
