If the stools are tested for sugar, it will be there! But the reason may be Mum's oversupply, with babe never reaching the fattier hindmilk. The lactose ferments in babe's bowel, resulting in explosive stools and an unhappy baby. Expressing at the start of the feed, or starting the feed and then taking baby off and letting that massive first let down run into a bowl or a nappy, and then continuing the feed, may help. Cutting down on dairy may make a difference in a couple of days as well, as the cow lactose adds to mum's lactose. Nicole.

Mother hasn't had the tests done yet, but Dr suspects lactose intolerance. This is mums 3rd bub. She has BF the first two and is disappointed that she may have trouble with this one. At this stage she is trying to arm herself with information and has been advised by Dr. to cut down on dairy products. I have passed on the kellymom site - thankyou.
