Milk is a very common drink in life. Many parents will supplement their children with milk to promote their children's development. But some children are in special physical condition and cannot drink milk. If they take it blindly, it will cause adverse reactions.

The baby is 2 years old, why can’t he drink milk? ‍

Ms. Wu’s baby is over 2 years old this year and has completely transitioned from breast milk to eating complementary foods and adult meals. Ms. Wu found that the baby had developed very quickly recently and planned to supplement her baby with some nutrition, so she bought some milk at home to let the baby drink some of it every day.

The milk tastes very pure and has a strong milk aroma. The baby likes it very much, but after drinking it, she always calls her stomach aches, and sometimes she will shout "Yeah! (defecation)". At first, Ms. Wu thought that the baby's stomach and intestines had not adapted to drinking milk. After all, this situation was experienced during early feeding of complementary foods.

So she did not stop milking immediately, but instead reduced her intake appropriately and continued to add milk to the baby. However, Ms. Wu found that the baby's abdominal pain and diarrhea did not decrease, but instead became more and more frequent, which made her very worried and took her to the hospital with her baby.

After the examination, the doctor said that the baby is intolerant of lactose and cannot drink milk. Ms. Wu asked in surprise, "Is the baby still impatient with lactose when he is over 2 years old? Didn't you say that this will only happen when he is young? Isn't it true when he grows up?" The doctor checked the medical record and replied, "This is true for ordinary babies. Physical, they have not developed well, and they will have lactose intolerant. But your child had enteritis before, which destroyed the intestinal environment and led to a lack of lactase. It has not recovered completely yet, so he cannot drink milk for the time being." The doctor pointed to the information on the medical record and showed it to Ms. Wu.

Ms. Wu asked, "What should I do if my child has no milk and cannot keep up with the nutrition? The child is developing now!"

Doctor said, "There are many ways to supplement nutrition. You can get enough nutrition through other foods. It is not too late to add milk to supplement nutrition after the child's body gradually recovers."

Milk is a recognized nutritious and healthy drink, but everyone's physical condition and preferences are different, so the demand for milk is also different. So what is the difference between people who drink milk every day and people who don’t?

What is the difference between drinking milk and not drinking milk? Need to discuss it according to circumstances! ‍

1. For people with a single diet, drinking milk every day can get more nutrition.

Milk is rich in nutrients, especially calcium and protein , which can quickly meet human needs. For some people with a single dietary structure, the nutrition consumed through daily diet must be insufficient. At this time, milk can play a good role in increasing nutrition intake and helping these people supplement some of the nutrients they lack in their bodies.

2. For people with rich diets, drinking milk every day is not so obvious.

Contemporary society is rich in material resources, and people's pursuit of diet is getting higher and higher. "Eating healthy" has become everyone's common goal, and the easiest way is to eat a balanced diet.

When people plan their daily diet and consume relatively comprehensive and sufficient nutrition every day, milk becomes a decoration. Even if they don’t drink milk, they can get nutrition through other foods. Therefore, for people with rich dietary structure, there is not much difference between drinking milk and nutritional intake.

In fact, there are still many benefits of milk. For some middle-aged and elderly people who do not have lactose intolerance, the nutrients in milk are more delicate and easy to absorb, which can strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis . If you have sleep problems, you can also drink a drink before going to bed to calm your mind.

However, for lactose intolerance, people should tend to eat nutrition through other foods in their diet, and avoid drinking milk or eating dairy products to affect their gastrointestinal health.
