My dd's CF doctor has never mentioned H. Infl. to us before but I recently saw a list of everything she has cultured over the last several years and H. Infl. shows up about 10 times. I wonder if it's something they don't worry about unless the child is very young?

We used Duocal with our dd since from before she turned two until she was about 6yo. She was also allergic to milk and Soy. It is expensive but it was a good supplement.
