Author of questionMom of a 5 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. eye hospital doctor told to avoid breastfeeding because mothers milk contain galactose so it will increase that oil droplet but if it doesnt work then the surgery will be needed. but the pediatrician told it is not needed to avoid breastfeeding because the report came normal, but if i want then try to give soy milk instead of breastfeeding because soy milk has no galactose
