I saw an infant mom dyad recently in which I thought lactaid drops would be
worth a try.  Baby nurses well with a good latch but stops in the middle of
feeds to cry and also crys alot betweeen feeds when the usual conforting does
not seem to help much (skin-to-skin, etc.)  the infant is 2 weeks old.
Eliminating milk, etc. from mom's diet did not help.  It does not seem to be
related to milk over or under supply.  Weight gain is good.  I was going to
try lactaid drops before embarking on the reflux work-up but they are no
longer available only tabs.  Does anyone know the concentration of the drops.
 I was thinking I could have a pharmacy make them up.

My gut feeling is that this is physiologic crying but I can't account for the
baby stopping to cry during feeds.  I may have them come back in a watch a
feeding again to get more ideas.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
