food for g6pd babies?

Normal diet: Ten percent or more of men in some demographics have some g6pd deficiency. Seldom causes much trouble. Depending on the severity of the allele, your physician might suggest a few foods to avoid. Fava beans have historically been the worst troublers. You'll find long lists of "forbidden foods" online and i'd urge you to ignore these and get accurate, no-fear-mongering advice from his physician.
