Abstract
Breastfeeding should be encouraged for every baby with few exceptions, classic galactosemia being one of them. Classic galactosemia causes death in newborns and can be identified early with newborn screening, or through the careful assessments of physicians, midwives, and lactation consultants in the first 4 days of life. All practitioners that assess newborns within the first 4 days of life should have a clear understanding of when to halt breastfeeding and when to support continuation of breastfeeding while keeping babies safe.
