Baby Milk Allergy:
Eliminating Dairy From His
Healthy Snacks

A true baby milk allergy is not very common. Typically, when eating some healthy snacks from milk, we equate the sensitivity of an intolerance to the terminology of a milk allergy. The two conditions are not the same.

Now that I've said that, so as not to confuse you, there is four primary reasons a baby will show the symptoms of a milk allergy. These include:

  • A gastro-intestinal infection in the baby's under-developed intestinal wall resulting in Temporary Lactose Intolerance

  • A rare disease involving glucose and galactose

  • Cow's Milk Protein Intolerance or Cow's Milk Protein Allergy

  • Lactose Intolerance

All mammals are programmed at birth through genes to exist solely on mother's milk. A mother's milk is the most concentrated form of lactose there is. Therefore, full term babies are born with the capabilities of digesting this concentrated milk by having sufficient amounts of lactase already in their system. This is to aid them in the digestive process.

Occasionally, premature babies are born so early they have not developed enough lactase to help digest lactose, the milk sugar. It has been observed though, after the first few feedings the newborn will develop a sufficient supply of lactase. This then enables them to digest the lactose which is present in their mother's milk.

On the following few sections, itemized for your information is a synopsis of the four major conditions which result in showing the signs and symptoms of a baby milk allergy.
