I  worked w/ a new 1st time mom today who is doing fine on day 2 with  
breastfeeding her baby, but had a question I was not sure of how to  answer.

Mom has no allergies, but Dad is severely allergic to  chicken.   He keeps 
an Epi pen with him at all times and has immed,  severe symptoms even if the 
food he is eating was prepared on the same cutting  board, etc. as chicken. 
   He also has numerous other food  allergies, just not as severe a 
reaction.

Moms question is:   should she avoid chicken and his other problem foods 
"in case" baby has Dads  allergies???

Thank you, Loretta Haycook, RN,  IBCLC
