I'm sorry if this sounds silly, but why does she have to stop BF??  Will the
symptoms of her PKU decrease if not BF, meaning that she won't have to use as
much of the Maxamum XP?  If not, then it seems to me that she would be better
off BF so that she doesn't have to pay for her XP and baby's formula.  I
don't know a thing about PKU, really, so am interested in what all this
means.
TIA!
