Google breastfeeding and PKU.  A certain amount of breastmilk is safe  for 
a baby dxed with PKU and there are articles out there (one from LLL) with  
info about this. I also remember reading a case study or article--can't 
remember  which--in JHL re bfdg and PKU.  Since the amount of breastmilk provided 
the  baby is limited, this could be a very good use of the Baby Weigh 
scale. Mom  could do test wts. to determine how much baby is getting. When  baby 
has had the limit stop bfdg that day. There is good info out there  though. 
It will be up to you or the mom to bring the research based info to the  
docs.

What advice would you give a mom (and grandmom) whose hearts are breaking  
with the news that the otherwise healthy infant had a positive PKU  test?
They are being told everything must be measured so the baby cannot go  to 
the 
breast.  Or they can feed the newborn 2 oz of Pku formula, then  put the 
baby 
to breast--when obviously the baby would not take the breast or  might take 
it then vomit from the overload of  milk...
