I would much sooner suspect the pignoli (pine nuts) that are used to make traditional pesto than the basil. Pine nuts are fairly allergenic as nuts go. Babies can be *sensitive* to them without being *allergic* (mine were). I have never heard of basil being a no-no for breastfeeding mothers. I would be interested to hear if anyone finds more info on this.
