Have there been any research studies done that would prove that drinking a
lot of cows' milk during pregnancy could sensitize a baby so that it would
respond negatively to its first exposure to cows' milk after birth?

I'm not wording that very clearly.  I was discussing with my Food and
Nutrition class that it really might not be such a hot idea to drink lots of
cows' milk when you are pregnant, as it can sensitize the baby -- one of the
students mentioned it in her other nutrition class and the teacher said that
was a bunch of baloney.  So now I am on the defensive to provide studies.
This all began as a result of a discussion of a new "milk moustache" ad
featuring supermodel Elle McPherson, with her moustache and big pregnant
belly saying she's drinking a lot of milk so her baby will have strong bones.
