I'm looking for recent research that  demonstrates the effects on milk 
composition when mother is on a diary free diet.  I read through old posts 
related to vegan diets, but did not turn up anything specific to just diary 
free.  We have a doctor in our practice who has told mothers of babies with 
milk-soy protien intolorance that there is no research that shows that 
breastfeeding while on a dairy free diet is safer then formula.  Yugh!!  
While we would like to ask him to show us his evidence that demonstrates 
that formula is safer then breastmilk when mom in on a diary free diet, we 
thought we would take on the "burden" to show him our research, since we 
know he wont find any to support his position.  We have been earmarking 
things in Lawerence and the LLL Answer book.  Is anyone out there sitting 
on any "newer" research on this specific issue?
