12 uker gammel, og kolikken har bare blitt verre :-(

Secondary lactose intolerance is a temporary state as long as the gut damage can heal. When the cause of the damage to the gut is removed, for example the food to which a baby is allergic is taken out of the diet, the gut will heal even if the baby is still fed breastmilk. If your doctor does diagnose 'lactose intolerance' you need to know that this is not harmful to your baby as long as she is otherwise well and growing normally.

 

 

Occasionally it is considered preferable to reduce the immediate symptoms, by reducing the amount of lactose in the diet for a time, particularly if the baby has been losing weight. In this case, it may be suggested that the mother alternate breastfeeding and feeding the baby with a lactose-free artificial baby milk. Sensitivity of the baby to foreign protein (cow or soy) should be considered before introduction to artificial baby milk, as types other than the truly hypoallergenic ones may make the problem worse. Although commonly advised, there is no good evidence to support taking the baby off the breast altogether. In the case of a baby recovering from severe gastroenteritis, average recovery time for the gut is four weeks, but may be up to eight weeks for a young baby under three months. For older babies, over about 18 months, recovery may be as rapid as one week.

 

 

When even partially taking the baby off the breast temporarily is being considered, thought should also be given to other aspects of the breastfeeding relationship. These include:

How will alternative feeding methods affect this baby? Could it result in breast refusal later?

How easily will the mother be able to express her milk to maintain her supply?

 

 

A mother needs to be aware of exactly what is happening, and understand that this episode need not undermine her confidence in breastfeeding. Her breastmilk is still the normal and proper food for her baby in the long term.

 

 

You may have heard about giving 'Lactaid' drops to babies who have symptoms of lactose intolerance. There is no proof that these are of any value used this way. These drops do contain the enzyme, lactase, but need to be put into expressed breastmilk and left overnight for the enzyme to digest the lactose in the milk. In practice they are rarely useful for babies.

Tusen takk for informasjon og all hjelp, setter virkelig pris på dette! Har bare skumlest ennå men har printet ut svarene deres og skal lese en gang til. Til den ovenfor som lurte på om det med minifom, fennikkelte og raping; vi har brukt både minifom og te siden før jul, og har også prøvd en uke i ny og ne uten for å se - men ingen forskjell. Vi raper alltid godt etter mat, venter faktisk bestandig på rap nummer to så det hender av og til at hun bæres over skulderen i nærmere en halv time etter mat. Mannen min er lege - ikke allmennpraktiker men har god peil og han har også mange kollegaer innen allmennmedisin. Vi har jevnlig snakket med disse pluss vår lokale helsesøster, men ingen tror det er noe annet enn kolikk heller... Synes det er interessant å lese om laktoseintoleranse, spesielt siden vi har hatt omgangssyke her for et par uker siden. Kanskje hun fikk skader på tarmen da? I hvert fall skal jeg lese informasjonen nøye, og vurdere noen tiltak. Tusen takk igjen for hjelp i en fortvilet stund!

sønnen vår hadde kolikk og det gav seg når han var ca 4,5 mnd så d er ikke alltid at det gir seg etter 3 mnd. Er fryktelig slitsomt og eneste trøsten jeg kan komme m er at d gir seg...

Takk! Det ER faktisk en trøst at det går over en gang, skal vel holde ut noen uker til... Håper helse og ekteskap holder også, snufs.
