Hello,
My last child was incorrectly diagnosed with galactosemia. She actually
tested positive three times. She showed NO signs of galactosemia so I
never weaned her or supplimented with soy formula. As a result I am
interested in other options for babies that are truly galactosemic. Jack
Newman talks in his book about adding lactase drops to your own breastmilk
to make it lactose-free if you suspect colic caused by lactose
intolerance. I am wondering if this would be an option for babies with
classic galactosemia? If the milk were made lactose-free couldn't the
baby receive the other benefits from breastmilk, except ofcourse the skin-
to-skin contact.
Any input would be appreciated!
