Weaning Practices in Phenylketonuria Vary Between Health Professionals in Europe
Pinto, A; Adams, S; Ahring, K; Allen, H; Almeida, M F; Garcia-Arenas, D; Arslan, N; Assoun, M; Atik Altınok, Y; Barrio-Carreras, D; Belanger Quintana, AIn phenylketonuria (PKU), weaning is considered more challenging when compared to feeding healthy infants.
