Does anyone know if Dr. Sami Bahna is still in practice?  Last I saw
him, he was working in Philadelphia.  If not, any breastfeeding friendly
allergist in the NYC area is needed.  Client has a 6 mo old exclusively
bf infant with severe eczema, and the doctors are telling her he's
allergic to her milk protein.  She has already eliminated many things,
and saw a homeopath without consistent results.  Gave her all the
standard info- great allergy books, rare foods diet, pancreatic enzyme
for her.  Baby has lost 1 lb recently, so I also recommended a sweat
chloride test, as the last baby in my practice who was diagnosed as
"maternal milk protein allergy" turned out to have cystic fibrosis.
