Abstract A second‐born breastfed infant presented with zinc deficiency. His mother had a novel heterozygous mutation in SLC30A2. A previous baby did not have zinc deficiency but the mother had taken a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) during the second pregnancy. Antenatal PPI exposure may plausibly contribute to transient infantile zinc deficiency.
