"Katie Couric interviewed a doctor after the news part and when asked  what families could do to lessen the development of allergies, he  stated first that breastfeeding was a major deterrent as well as the  nursing mother avoiding dairy, peanuts, tree nuts."
  
  Hi All,
  I am always disappointed that there is a cavaet with the breastfeeding  advice.  I do not think that all nursing mothers need to avoid the  above, and that type of advice will diminish the mothers who  breastfeed.  The myth about bland, non spicy foods have caused  many women to give up.  While the doctor did mention  breastfeeding, was it exclusive breastfeeding?  And again, with  the medical model here in the USA, there is ALWAYS advice for one in a  zillion that impact the overall public health of others.  These  extremes always get lip service.  I am not in any way diminishing  the girl's death.  I am just hoping instead to get a full course  meal fed to me instead of just the entree when I get breastfeeding  information.
  
  Thanks for listening.
  Pam.
