Hi Amy,
In answer to your question about early vitamin supplementation and allergy, the following is an excerpt from my 2010 tome, Breastfeeding Answers Made Simple (p. 244):
One preliminary Swedish study of 206 babies found an association with vitamin D intake during the first year of life and increased risk of allergy independent of family history (Back, Blomquist, Hernell, & Stenberg, 2009). A U.S. study found that early vitamin use was associated with a higher risk of allergy among exclusively formula-fed African-American babies (Milner, Stein, McCarter, & Moon, 2004)
Back, O., Blomquist, H. K., Hernell, O., & Stenberg, B. (2009). Does vitamin D intake during infancy promote the development of atopic allergy? /Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 89/(1), 28-32.
Milner, J. D., Stein, D. M., McCarter, R., & Moon, R. Y. (2004). Early infant multivitamin supplementation is associated with increased risk for food allergy and asthma. /Pediatrics, 114/(1), 27-32.
