Hi Carla,
 
This wonderful mom is lucky to have you helping with this quandary, and  
happily it seems that, with the strategies currently in place, the  baby has 
significantly improved. The mom can work on cutting out  all the less 
apparent allergens in her foods and things will likely  continue to improve. 
 
You already have some research on hand and their is plenty of good  
documentation for Bf a baby with food allergies, and how best to go about  that.
 
Plus, the allergies will still be there when the mom stops Bf, allergy  
issues still to be managed.
 
The allergist should provide the documented research to back up  the advice 
to "stop breastfeeding because it is going to make the allergy  worse..." 
 
If mom has a Bf educated & supportive pediatrician,  wondering what advice 
from there? ....wonder did they discuss the risks of not  Bf?
