It is believed that some children are sensitised through exposure to
allergens that are transmitted via mothers' milk. However, that is a very
different thing to saying that breastfeeding causes allergies. If the same
child had been formula fed from birth, s/he would have been sensitised to a
different set of allergens. What causes allergies is still largely unknown.
