DD was diagnosed lactose intolerant at 7 weeks old.
Plunket told me that at 6 months we needed to test her intolerance by giving her a normal formula and seeing if she reacts to it. Thats all the advice they gave me! I am, of course, terrified of upsetting her and her getting sick again. Just wondering if anyone else has been through this and can give me any advice? I have no idea how long I should try her on the new formula for to see if she reacts, should she go on stage 2 seen as she is 6months old or just on stage 1? Any help would be great. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

TBH if she's still Lactose intolerant then what ever formula will show a reaction.
I would think that she'd react pretty fast? So I'd only get a couple of sachets. Also, maybe actually run it past your Dr first. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Yeah I certainly wouldn't take Plunkets word for it and wouldn't want to expose my baby to something unnessarily IYGWIM. -------------
