Lactose is the carbohydrate that is present in mother's milk (just like a
cow) so yes, of course, it will be in the milk. If the infant is
lactose-intolerant (extremely rare in an infant), then the mom will have to
pump, mix the lactase enzyme in the milk, then feed the baby the milk
(bummer for the nurturing and bonding of breastfeeding). Try all of the
dietary changes in the mom first-almost always take care of baby's
symptoms. As for the proteins, I don't think anyone knows an exact time
through the body-completely eliminating dairy throughout breastfeeding is
the safest route to go in very allergic infants.-Cherie
