    Lactose intolerance types
    Lactose intolerance is actually not very common in infants and typically only starts showing up after age three in children who were born full-term. All babies are born with lactase in their intestines. As they grow older, the lactase enzyme decreases. Pre-term babies are more likely to have a type of lactose intolerance called developmental lactase deficiency. This condition usually lasts only for a short time after birth. However, the majority of premature infants will be able to consume lactose-containing formula and breast millk, explains American Academy of Pediatrics. In very rare cases, people are born with an inability to make any lactase at all, adds US-based Hopkins Medicine. Image Credit: Shutterstock
