Milk has gradually become the main staple food in people's daily lives. Milk has a good taste and high nutritional value. Not only do babies like to drink it, but adults also have a special fondness for it. But some babies are allergic to milk, which is a headache for mothers. So, what are the symptoms of a baby's allergy to milk?
If a baby experiences adverse reactions such as vomiting, wheezing, diarrhea, and rash after drinking milk, it is an allergy to milk protein. In some cases, symptoms such as recurrent diarrhea, bloody stools, recurrent vomiting, and colic may appear slowly, possibly several hours or days later. So mom, please don't give your baby milk anymore. If not handled in a timely manner, some situations may endanger the baby's life.
If the baby has a rash or itching that is not very severe, they can go to the hospital for an allergen test and then undergo desensitization treatment. Sometimes, after a baby drinks milk, there may be discomfort in the stomach. If it is just a simple discomfort, it may not be an allergy, but lactose intolerance. You can let the baby continue drinking, but it should be consumed in small amounts multiple times, or let the baby drink some lactose free milk.
Babies are generally not allergic to breast milk, but breastfeeding mothers should be careful not to drink milk, and some foods or dairy products containing milk should also not be eaten. Prevent milk protein from entering the baby's body through breast milk, causing allergies in the baby.
