💥💥BREASTFEEDING MYTH 💥💥
"Many babies are lactose intolerant."

THIS IS NOT TRUE.
While many babies do have a hard time digesting cow’s milk or breast milk when mom is consuming cow’s milk, it is VERY RARE for a baby to be Lactose intolerant!

Human milk has approx. 10x the amount of lactose than cow’s milk. Lactose is the milk sugar, and the reason why human breast milk is so sweet.

What many human babies are reactive or intolerant of is the cow’s milk protein, not the sugar.

This is something that is meant to be digested by baby cows not human babies and very often they are unable to digest it, which can lead to fussiness, gas, and bowel irritation.

Since it is the protein and not the lactose that is almost always the problem, drinking lactose-free milk will not help. The only real solution is to remove cow’s milk from your diet.

This is something very important to keep in mind since it is so common and also what it used to make infant formula. 🤱❤️

**Note: Babies that are intolerant of cow's milk protein are also often intolerant of soy as well

Scientists have discovered breastmilk isn’t just food.
It’s alive.

It holds living cells. Stem cells. Tiny exosomes that carry healing instructions through the body.
It can regulate the immune system. Reduce inflammation.
Some studies even suggest it may help fight cancer.

And if you need proof, look at the science. In labs, breastmilk literally stops bacteria from growing.

Your body makes something no lab can fully recreate.
Something that shifts and adapts to your child’s needs in real time.
Something so powerful, it’s reshaping what we know about medicine.

Share this if you’ve ever been in awe of what your body can do. You’re allowed to be proud ❤️ The Breastmilk Queen - Amy McGlade
