Subject: maternal PKU, and infant phenylalanine levels reference
Someone asked about the risk of breastfeeding with poorly controlled
maternal PKU, I've found a reference that might help. (Of course, I
couldn't find the reference *I* needed about intellligence or
neurological functioning in infants breastfed before PKU diagnosis! If
anyone can find that, pretty please let me know.)
