I have read the Archives posts on CF but the case I have has a different angle. Baby is adopted, 5 months old, and has been "stuffy" all along, but 2 weeks ago was hit with a respiratory virus. She is hospitalized and being fed with NG tube. She is not improving. Mom was considering some breast milk to turn around her decline. Ped was agreeable. But today they are exploring CF and Ped says that this changes everything, including breastmilk possibilities. Mom wants to know if "some" breastmilk would help baby recover from this crisis. Ped is recommending Progestamil for baby's feeding now. There isn't an expectation of on-going breastmilk in her diet, but would some breastmilk now be of help or would it be a confusing factor in this little one's case?
