that is totally ridiculous. That doctor is giving out unethical advice.
The predisposition to allergies is genetic. He should tell his moms
with
allergies to not get pregnant.
If he wants to prevent allergy 'transmission', he should tell women to
not get
pregnant.
Thanks for your response-I talked to the Doctor today ahd She said she
knows this mom very well, she is emotionally immature and would not
stay on a restictive diet necessary (in her opinion) for a potentially
allergic kid. I think she is being paternalistic but it is her patient
and i can't do anything about it. :-(
