Your diet won't affect feeding. In case your baby is a diagnosed lactose intolerant, you can use formula milk with low lactose like nestle nan lo-lac. If he still vomits, then formula without lactose like xerolac can be given. You can continue breastfeeding and gradually increase frequency as lactose intolerance could decrease over time.
