Hello dear
Understand your concern.
It may be due to bottle milk that you provide.
Bottle milk has chance of infection as compared to the breast milk.
Or either your daughter may be have milk allergy due to lactose intolerance.
Lactase, The enzyme that present in the intestine may be deficient or partially active
And baby can not digest milk that contain lactose.
So check for lactose intolerance.
Hope this may help you.
