Here is a link to a CNN Q&A article entitled, "Should I breastfeed a baby with
food allergies?"

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.
