To avoid as many: Triggers as possible that cause hemolytic anemia in people with g6pd deficiency, see http://g6pddeficiency.Org/index.Php you can easily keep fava beans, mothballs, & certain medications out of your baby's environment, but you can't avoid viral or bacterial illnesses, especially when daycare, preschool, etc. Become part of his life. You'll need to learn what to avoid & teach other caretakers.
