A member asked:
Is breastfeeding a duarte galactosemic (d/g) safe? borderline 1st newborn screen, normal 2nd screen after 9 days of being breastfed exclusively.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably fine: It is a rare disorder. Seems that those kids that have it present with mild jaundice. Controversy as to whether to keep them on a galactose free formula. Check for enzyme levels at 1 year. Speak to your local geneticist about recurrence risk and counseling.

My newborn has vomited 3 times in 2 days. Since we landed in Uganda. She coughs in a way that looks like she's choking. Only one or 2 coughs at a time then it's better. The only difference in the environment is that there are cats. Breastfeeding only?
