Dear Lactnetters,

I know you are all probably busy as bees preparaing for the holiday, but if anyone
has any info about a rare skin disease called icthyosis, I'd appreciate it.  A
client has a 3 1/2 week old male baby diagnosed with (inherited) icthyosis.  So far
the baby has few symptoms - some scaling on the face and hands, but no "fish-like"
appearance or discoloration.

I'm wondering if breastfeeding can help prevent the symptoms from getting worse.
The baby has also had problems with weight gain due to hospital mismanagement.  The
ped wants to supplement with ABM.  As expected, this first time mother is upset.
I'd like to come up with some info in order to encourage her.

Happy Holidays.   Susan in Ranana, Israel.
