It's a puzzler that the baby reacts to the mother's milk even when it's
pumped and bottlefed, since the first thought is that the let-down is
too fast or too slow.  Since the mother has eliminated milk and other
obvious allergens, what about suggesting a very restricted diet for a
week or so.  The archives have a more complete description, but it would
involve filling the house with a slate of foods with a low potential for
an allergic reaction -- roast a turkey or lamb, a pot of rice/millet,
zucchini or green beans cooked with olive oil/salt/pepper, pears and
bananas, etc. and just feeding off that.  She could certainly live
without pre-natal vitamins for a week -- perhaps they have some
ingredient that flavors the milk, at least in this baby's view, because
  the baby reacts so early in the feeding.
