I'm working with a mother now who's husband has Glucogenesis type 3.
It seems to be a rare disease and here in the Netherlands there's not
much info available about it.
Recently this couple gave birth to their first child and they are wondering
if ,and if so, in what way and to what extend this is hereditary to their
little girl.
From what little the father could tell me about it (he's supposed to eat
many
small meals spread throughout the day, eat little fat and not too much
'bulk'),
one thought crossed my mind: Pheww I'm glad she's breastfeeding!!! (easy to
digest, a lot of meals and snacks a day, and not the strict
three-hour-bulk-regime
as would be the case if they were artificially feeding).

Is there anyone in this well of wisdom called Lactnet that *knows* this
disease of metabolism who can fill me in on all there is to know about it,
like how is it hereditary, what are the symptoms to be alert of or look
for, and so on.


Thanks very much in advance,

Renate Rietveld IBCLC
