The baby after a few minutes of sucking chest cast, wept and pressed his legs, causing his mother anxiety. Then he had a frothy liquid stool with a sour smell, and grandmother remembered as the mother of the child as a child was just as well. It has all just after the stop breastfeeding, then you just need to transfer the baby to bottle-feeding - and the problem will not be. Is it so?

Overview

Indeed, often beady, liquefied chair with sour smell combined with a sharp cry during breastfeeding Breast-feeding: feed - and no nails!   or immediately after it is often enough lactase deficiency, in which the child is partially or completely lack the enzyme lactase, which breaks lactose contained in the milk of mammals.

However, you need to know that lactose is an essential component for the formation of normal intestinal biocenosis, and in human breast milk, in addition to the lactose contained hundreds of benefit to the child of substances, such as immunoglobulins, interleukins, amino acids that are not found in any, even the most modern mixture, and that help the child to adapt to life in general, so now is not recommended to stop breast-feeding.

There are several methods to help you cope with lactase deficiency, without stopping breastfeeding.

The use of lactase preparations

Currently there are two drugs lactase, which is used in pediatrics - Lactase Baby Lactase Baby - biologically active food supplement for children   and Lactase Enzyme. In the first dosage of the enzyme is higher and it is usually used for children with severe symptoms of lactase deficiency. The use of enzymes is simple, but requires some effort on the part of the mother. Ten minutes before each feeding is necessary to decant from the breasts for about ten milliliters of milk, pour back the right amount of capsule contents and leave to ferment for five - eight minutes, then feed teaspoon fermented milk child, and then applied to the chest to full saturation. This scheme works well if a woman has enough milk and the child can withstand periods of three - four hours between feedings.

If the baby is fed on demand, the mother has to make more efforts in order to evenly distribute the lactase during the day and give it to the child.

The dose of lactase selected empirically, since one-fourth of each feeding capsules (six times per day), and gradually increased to one fourth of the capsule before the normalization being. Arranging the dosage given for one month, and then gradually reducing the dose to one-quarter of the capsule is then passed to a daily feeding of - 1 week and then given enzyme by feeding for two weeks, then leave only one or two doses of lactase per day, and by two weeks and cancel them. Typically, to six months in the child no longer needs the reception of the enzyme, with the exception of full lactase deficiency, in which an attempt to reduce the dosage of lactase ends deteriorating state of health, in connection with which the child receives the full dose of lactase to a year.

Method of substitution

It is rarely found in children allergic to drugs Lactase enzyme Lactase and Baby. In this case, it is recommended to use a lactation lactose-free milk mixture Dairy mixture - selection of useful power Which is given by means of a teaspoon. Start with one third of the age dosage at each feeding, and then finish feeding breast. With little effect of the mixture increases. When the normalization being to gradually reduce the amount of the mixture, and then the multiplicity of reception, but only under the close supervision of the child's well-being.

Full lactase deficiency is extremely rare, and symptoms of incomplete stoped when the child reaches the age of about six months.
