Happy holidays, My husband and I are palnning to adopt; we recently recieved several referrals from Pennsylvania DSS, one of whom is a baby (7 mo old) who is on lactose free formula. While this certainly might not work out, I would like to be prepared with information. Can a baby who needs lactose free formula bf? I am not pumping so I don't anticipate producing a large amount of breastmilk. Also, I have a dairy allergy and eat no dairy products - would that help or make no difference? Any information would be appreciated. Heidi Gleber, LLLL [log in to unmask]
