Accepted Answer

Normally if the child is having lactose intolerance breastfeeding is also not advisable during that time and you have to go ahead with formula feeding so do not give it with a feeding bottle of the child is not try to give it with the help of a spoon and see your child accepted because currently it is only going to be benefiting and check with your doctor if you completely quit on the lactose products with things change for the child
