#AskTheExpert my baby is allergic to milk and milk products! What alternative can be given since i am trying to discontinue breastfeeding?

A. To help alleviate symptoms if/when your child consumes lactose-containing food, your pediatrician may recommend an over-the-counter lactase enzyme supplement. If your child's symptoms are severe and warrant removing all lactose from his or her diet, your pediatrician may refer your child to a registered dietitian.
