There are some common fallacies about lactose intolerance that you may hear in the community: * Lactose in the breastmilk will be reduced if the mother stops eating dairy products. * Lactose intolerance in other family members (adults) means baby is more likely to be lactose intolerant. * If a mother is lactose intolerant then her baby will be as well. * A baby with symptoms of lactose intolerance should immediately be taken off the breast and fed on soy-based infant formula, or other special lactose-free formula. * Lactose intolerance is the same as intolerance or allergy to cows' milk protein.

Potentially allergenic foods may be listed under another name in packaged foods. The most common are: * wheat flour: durum semolina, farina * egg white: albumin * dairy products: Casein, sodium caseinate. TIP: Food without ANY diary products will say "Parve" on the package. You will usually find these foods in the kosher section. Careful label reading will help you discover what you are eating: * Cocoa mixes, creamed foods, gravies, and some sauces contain milk. * Noodles and pasta contain wheat and sometimes eggs. * Canned soups may contain wheat and dairy fillers. * Most breads contain wheat and dairy products. * Margarine usually contains whey. * Hot dogs, cold cuts, and "nondairy" desserts contain sodium caseinate. For persons who keep kosher , the word "pareve" on a label means the food does not contain milk or meat. However, recent studies on persons who suffered severe allergic reactions to pareve—labeled foods revealed milk residues. See less

My wife has been eliminating certain foods to see if it helps with our baby's occasional nighttime colic. How long does it takes for food she eats to reach her breastmilk and will avoiding certain foods help our baby's tummy troubes? Certain foods and drinks can enter mother's milk in as little as 20 to 30 minutes. Some mothers notice that a particular food that they eat causes fussiness and gassiness in their baby up to 24 hours later. Colicky behavior is quite common in babies, possibly affecting up to one third of babies under the age of three months. Unless you have narrowed down what seems to be causing colicky behavior in your baby (perhaps, by use of a food diary), I would advise not arbitrarily eliminating foods from your diet in order to find an "offending" food. Most moms and babies do fine when the mother continues to eat her normal, healthy and varied diet. If after keeping a food diary in which you also record your baby's behavior, you feel that there is a food which... See less
