Answer to Question 1

C
Infants with cystic fibrosis may be breastfed or fed infant formula along with enzyme replace-ment therapy. They may need supplemental fat and carbohydrate to add kcals, but do not need specially designed infant formulas or vitamin and mineral supplements. Guidelines for adding weaning foods are the same as for healthy infants.
