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!
