Debra,

A recent policy statement from AAP: 
<http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/reprint/pediatrics;118/3/1279.pdf>http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/reprint/pediatrics;118/3/1279.pdf


<<lactose-free formulas have no clinical advantages compared with 
standard lactose-containing formulas except in severely 
undernourished children, in whom lactose-containing formulas may 
worsen the diarrhea and lactose-free formulas may be advantageous.62 
Breastfed infants should be continued on human milk in all cases.57>>

Perhaps this mum's pediatrician needs to keep up with his own 
profession's literature.
