Breastfeeding stories: Breastfeeding a baby with a rare metabolic disorder
When baby Hudson was just five days old, Yolanda received a phone call that would change everything. That moment marked the beginning of her journey breastfeeding a baby diagnosed with Phenylketonuria (PKU) — a rare metabolic disorder.
In this episode, Yolanda opens up about her experience navigating breastfeeding after Hudson’s diagnosis, and the strength, support, and hope she discovered along the way.
Paediatric dietitian Erin Mullane joins the conversation to explain what PKU means for feeding and nutrition, and how families can make breastfeeding work in complex circumstances.
