Here is a link to a CNN Q&A article entitled, "Should I breastfeed a baby with food allergies?" <http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/expert.q.a/06/15/breast.milk.intolerance.s hu/index.html> or you can try: http://tinyurl.com/luz445 The pediatrician who answered the question gave some good information but left out quite a lot of important information, and I don't think she really answered the mother's question. And she certainly didn't leave the reader with the impression that changing to formula would be the wrong way to go. I will post to this question with suggestions to visit LLL or an IBCLC, but I am hoping that some of our IBCLCs with expertise in allergy issues will post a reply.
