If your baby is reacting badly to infant formula milk, one possible cause is because they are suffering from cows' milk allergy or lactose intolerance.   Cows' milk allergy is one of the most common allergies for babies. Most formula milk contains cows' milk, which isn't recommended as a drink for children under the age of 1. This allergy usually starts when your baby is first exposed to cow's milk. However, most children grow out of the allergy by the time they reach the age of 5. Babies with lactose intolerance cannot digest lactose properly. This lactose will build up in the gut and attract water which produces diarrhoea. Infants may face this problem because they may not be producing enough lactase yet, causing them to be unable to digest lactose. Lactose intolerance is usually temporary for babies or young children.
