Hi everyone...
Saw this article in yesterday's (1/8/08) Chicago Tribune... Titled
"For baby allergies, it's not the food - new guidelines pull diet
restrictions for breast-feeding (sic) moms"
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-babies_07jan07,0,1532417.story
Ugh. According to this article, the American Academy of Pediatrics is now
saying there is no reason to avoid foods during pregnancy or lactation, no
reason to avoid soy formula (don't know why they picked that over cow's milk
formulations) and no reason to delay the introduction of solids! Why has
the AAP suddenly gone the other direction on breastfeeding in general?
What's going on?!??? Anyone have insights on this?
