True
Lactose tends to bother the digestion of babies more than adults because many infants are born with a natural ability to digest lactose, which comes from breast milk. However, some infants may have a temporary lactose intolerance, especially if they experience gastrointestinal infections. In contrast, most adults continue to produce lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose), but some may develop lactose intolerance as they age, leading to difficulty in digesting lactose. So while both babies and adults can experience lactose intolerance, it is more commonly a stress on a baby's developing digestive system.
