If your baby is tolerating curd and paneer, then no need to worry at all. Your child will grow well on proper diet for this age, even if you do not give milk. I feel you need not worry about lactose intolerance in her case.

Is your daughter gaining weight? Does she have frequent respiratory complaints? These are important questions. As your daughter's complaints maybe symptoms of cow milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance. But very specific investigations have to be done before coming to a diagnosis. And dietary restrictions will depend on the diagnosis. Till a diagnosis is made, lactose free formulae (osmoset / neocate) maybe given.

Hi lybrate-user, first do stool routine report then we can decide about lactose intolerance or any other problem. Give zinc syp for 14 days and probiotic sachets for 5 days.
