Hi,

The baby of one of my clients has been born blind (albinism)  He is about 14 
weeks old now - and has just been diagnosed, though it has been suspected 
for a while..  The mum has been doing the most sensational job.  The little 
one is having about 300 mls of formula per day - mum is breastfeeding and 
expressing to increase supply.  The baby is very irritable (light will hurt 
his eyes and they live in a very light and airy house. Breastfeeding got off 
to a rough start - caesarian, early separation, low weight gains etc.  the 
mother is committed to keep breastfeeding - but it's hard.  I wondered if 
anyone has any experience or insights they could share?

Warm Regards
