Question

My baby has been diagnosed with Phenylketonuria after a thorough check-up at the hospital. I’ve heard that Phenylketonuria babies can drink special formula milk. I want to understand more about where to buy this special formula milk?

Answer

If your baby has Phenylketonuria and needs to purchase formula milk, there is special formula milk available. This type of formula milk is generally available at local hospitals’ maternal and child health departments. Many large maternity and baby product stores also carry it. If your baby has a recurrence of Phenylketonuria, it is important to go to the designated children’s hospital for screening and not to delay treatment. You can consult with the hospital where your baby was diagnosed, as timely treatment requires cooperation between the doctor and the family.
