Metabolic disorders and the breastfed baby

[mamaverdi]

Does anyone have any idea about which metabolic disorders are treated with or delayed by breastmilk/breastfeeding?

I have found evidence that urea cycle disorders as well as glycogen storage diseases are treated with breastmilk.

I may have figured out what is wrong with Little Bear.

I think the diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis can be delayed by breastfeeding, since breastmilk is more digestible and contains digestive enzymes.
