How to Choose the Right Baby Formula?
How to Choose the Right Baby FormulaWhen breastfeeding is not an option, most parents have to resort to choosing a baby formula that meets their baby's needs best. There are different varieties of baby formula to meet even the strictest requirements. Cow's milk based, soy proteins, and hypo-allergenic proteins are common ones found in baby formula. Sometimes switching to formula-feeding can take some adjustment and trial-and-error.Cow's Milk FormulaThe most common formulas are those that are cow's milk-based. Deriving from cow's milk, their proteins offer complete nourishment for infants up to 12 months. They are the most inexpensive, but don't confuse it with typical cow's milk adults ingest.Soy Milk FormulaThis can be great for babies that may be allergic to cow's milk. Soy proteins in soy formulas are gently broken down and easily digestible. It is offered in many brands and offers the same nutrition that cow's milk has. Premature infants and those with low birth weight should NOT use soy-based formulas.Hypo-allergenic FormulaHypo-allergenic formula is typically recommended by a pediatrician. It is typically used for babies with digestive disorders and severe allergies. People typically don't start their babies on this, as it can be expensive and unneeded otherwise.Because formula feeding does require some trial and error, remember to keep a log when trying new formulas. If there is excessive spitting-up, rashes, or recurrent diaper rash, the baby may be suffering from a milk allergy. Keeping track of details when switching formulas can help the pediatrician determine problems if they arise.

Can lactose intolerant babies still be breast fed?
NO! the formula a woman produces in breast milk is going to be like from a cow but with alot more nutrients. you would have to use soy formula or soy milk. =( sorry to break it to you ANSWER Sorry that is not true. The breast milk doesn't have the same bonds of proteins that cows milk does. Most people who have milk allergies are allergic to the bonds that make up the milk which makes lactose. The chains of proteins aren't exactly the same. My daughter could take breast milk but formula, she couldn't digest the proteins. I suggest that you try hypoallergenic milk if you decide to go on formula. Ask your doctor first. Did your baby have a test to say it is intolerant? It could be colic or it could be something wrong with the formula. If you are breastfeeding, you need to do the elimination diet. Usually babies that are intolerant to milk proteins that a breast fed are having problem digesting the dairy that you have eaten. It seems to me that you are breastfeeding so try to eliminate things like chocolate, then some dairies and things that seem to make your baby fussy. To know if your baby has a milk allergy (not a true allergy because they usually outgrown it within the first year), ask your pediatrician to give them the milk allergy test.
