>>I was having a discussion with a dietician who told me that the explosive
stools BF babies get are the result of too much lactose in mother's milk for
the quantity of lactase in the baby's gut and that the stools became less and
less explosive as the baby's gut became more mature and adapted it's
secretion of lactase to the quantity of lactose in the mother's milk.<<

Sounds to me like a dietician's outside attempt to explain the previously
inscrutable phenomena that we now call foremilk-hindmilk imbalance---- when
baby isn't allowed to finish the first breast first. Yes, a baby's gut *can*
become overwhelmed by too much lactose, but NOT due to natures error. Rather,
it is the error of humans to interfere with feedings with clocks and rules,
thus disrupting the character and quality of the feeding at breast.
