This is ALL he had to say about breastfeeding:


"Can anything be done to prevent allergies when a child is young?

Dr. Ehrlich: There are a lot of things that can be done. If there's a
history of allergies in the family, certain foods should be avoided from
the get go. If a mother's going to breastfeed, there are certain foods that
she can stay off, such as milk, eggs and wheat. If you're thinking about
children's respiratory allergies, as much as I hate to say it because we
have one, having an animal around the house, particularly a cat, is not a
great idea. Cats are very allergenic, and they cause a lot of problems in
children who are prone to having allergies."

How sad,

Ellen Penchuk, IBCLC, RLC
