since my son was 6 months old he has been on whole milk. well now that he's 2 1/2 for the past week he has been throwing up milk. can he become lactose intoloerant now even though he's 2 1/2? i plan on talking to his dr wednesday. but i just wanted to see if anyone has any imputs. thank you all!

Do you still have him on whole milk, cause if you do it's probably way too rich for his system now that his metabolism has slowed down.

My doctor told me not to give my daughter milk until she turned 1 because if you give them stuff too early they can develop an allergy to it!

both my kids where on whole milk but the time they were 6 mths old. And my mom said she switch me to whole milk when I was only 3 mths oldbecuz they couldn't afford formula. Me and my kids have never had a problem with milk not than and not now. What I would recommend is maybe diluting the whole milk with water.. or switch him to 2% and see if he can tolerated it. keeps us posted.
FYI while your testing him do not give it to him at NIGHT.You don't want him getting sick at nite and choking on spit ups or vomit.
Good luck
