Most USA hospitals/states screen for galactosemia. It would be important to find out if this is the problem, since galactosemia is a contraindication to breastfeeding. I don't think the babies can be labelled as "galactosemic" unless they are tested. There may be other stuff going on; it's hard to tell from the information received.
