Hello,

It is important to differentiate whether your baby is suffering from milk allergy or lactose intolerance. The management of both conditions is different and hence both need to be differentiated. I suggest you to get routine stool examination and stool pH after consuming milk. The pH of stool is less than 5.5 on two occasions in case of lactose intolerance. I suggest you to consult your pediatrician for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
