Answer to Question 1

The infant should be given a lactose-reduced formula. Lactose-reduced formulas contain less lactose, and additional carbohydrate is provided by other sources such as modified cornstarch or sucrose. An infant who is fed a reduced-lactose formula will likely be able to eat dairy products later. Because dairy products are an important source of calcium, the mother should gradually introduce foods with low lactose into the infant's diet as he gets older.

Answer to Question 2
