What alternative is used when the infant is lactose intolerant?
  1. Cow’s milk.
  2. Soy.
  3. Low-iron milk.
  4. Thickened formula.
Explanation
Answer: B - When the infant is lactose intolerant, soy formula is used. Cow’s milk formula contains lactose so lactose intolerant babies cannot digest this type of formula. Low-iron formula has less than the recommended amount of iron; and thickened formula is used as a last resort for those babies with special needs.
