Question 1

what are the examples of non soy formula milk? for g6pd

Accepted Answer

Good question.: There are milk-based, soy-base, hydrolyzed and free amino acid type formulas. Breast milk watching your own diet is absolutely the best and safest for your baby. It is best for you to ask your pediatrician or hematology specialist which formulas are best, if breast feeding isn't possible. I would try a milk-based formula of a well-known name brand and check ingredients for soy lecithin, soya, soy.

Question 2

what are the examples of non soy formula milk?.. is g6pd can drink distilled water?

Accepted Answer

Formula: There are basically 2 types of infant formula. Cow's milk based and soy based. There are several speciality formulas, which have been changed, to make them easier to digest and hypoallergenic, but they are still cow/soy based. G6PD has many thing that can't be eaten, but water isn't one of them. This is a good resource. http://www.g6pd.org

Question 3

hi!..my baby is now 5 months old and she is g6pd.what milk formula is safe for her?.... is cerelac flavoured wheat,banana and milk are safe for her?..

Accepted Answer

Ok to start solids: It is ok to start cereal by 4-6 months, but because wheat allergy is common, rice or oatmeal is usually recommended as a first cereal. The type with added fruit and milk is ok.  Continue the same infant formula until your child is close to a year old.  To give variety, add a different vegetable  to the feedings once a week, unless there is a reaction, like rash or vomiting or diarrhea.

Question 4

what is the best formula milk for my 6weeks old baby with g6pd deficiency,  lactum 0-6months is safe for her?

Accepted Answer

Anything: G6PD deficiency does not require a special diet.  Breast feeding is always best but if that cannot be done then any formula is fine to use.

Question 5

my son has a g6pd defiency. i am giving him pediasure milk formula which contains cows milk and soy. is it ok for him to drink this formula? so far he likes to drink it. but i am worried if its not good for him and what will happen to him. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Soy oil products might trigger problems with g6pd  deficiency , so  it would be advisable to use a formula without soy . You can access advice about all the  food and medicines   to be avoided, at the website , http :www.g6pd.org

Question 6

my daughter is 1 month old and she is g6pd deficiency. what baby formula/milk do you suggest? bcs almost all the milk has soy oil, soyabean oil or soy lechitin?

Accepted Answer

: Nursing is best, but there are formulas not containing soy protein. Soy oil is different from soy lecithin. Please check labels and consider a formula without any soy product.

Yes, however...: Breast milk is a far better food for babies than any formula but Bonna formula is safe for babies with G6PD.
However, if you can not breast feed then organic infant formula is a far better choice- see https://www.hipp.ph/pediatric-nutrition/products/hipp-organic-infant-formula-0-6-months/hipp-organic-infant-formula-0-6-months/
