Go to
http://www.healthsquare.com/ana/chldrn.html#top and click on "Feeding
allergic infants and small children." Here's the text, with emphasis mine:

<<The best food for a newborn is mother's milk. However, some especially
sensitive babies will have allergic reactions to foods their mothers eat.
Eliminating these foods from the mother's diet may provide relief for the
child. **But, some babies will be allergic regardless of what their mothers
do. When this occurs, your physician may recommend a soy formula (for
infants with no soy allergies) or other hypoallergenic infant formulas.**>>

... yet under "Dairy product allergies," we're told:

<<Milk is another food that frequently causes allergies in adults, but it is
a **nutritionally important part of children's diets**. Milk should be
eliminated from a child's diet **only if you are sure the child is allergic
to it**. >>

Does anyone else find this somewhat ironic, not to mention factually shaky?
