hi, I m a mother of a 1 yr and 24 days old baby with G6PD .... we we re able to determine her condition after the newborn screening... and confirmatory test and she is positive. shes a breastfeed, but I want her to take formula what milk should I give to her?
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  When a healthy infant reaches one year of age, she needs to begin Chat Doctor.  Not formula. Whole cows milk will supply her body with the fat content that her developing nervous system needs. Whole cows milk contains nothing that would adversely affect her G6PD. Beginning at two years of age she should be placed on low-fat cows milk (again, no adverse effect on G6PD). From this age on, the fat content of her diet should be lowed, so her body can begin to be protected from cardiovascular disease. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.
