Answer by Dr. Ru: About Galactosemia Of The Infant usage in lactation

Nursing is contraindicated in those infants affected by classicGalactosemia (Transferase deficiency). However, infants affected by Duarte variant Galactosemia (partial deficiency of transferase) or galactokinase or severe deficiency of epimerase can be partially or fully nursed. Follow-up of serum and nutritional status is advisable. The benign form of epimerase deficiency does not require any treatment and is compatible with breastfeeding.
