Actually, you are in a fortunate situation because the baby is a girl and girls rarely have full blown Cystic Fibrosis. In nearly all Cystic Fibrosis cases the victims are males because of their X Y chromosome. Normally you will not be able to tell whether a child have Cystic Fibrosis until they are about 18-24 months. One of the most common symptoms is salty tasting skin. If she were to become your daughter then when the time comes to talk about her sexuality you need to tell her to consider having a partner that does not carry the trait. If she wants to have children ask her to consider adoption or using egg donation to create a family. If she or her partner insist on having biological children then she may consider a procedure called family balancing. What happens is the doctor will have her to create several embryos but only the female embryos will be implanted in your daughter's uterus. The procedure has a 90% success rate for girls.
