From today's New York Times:
"Linking Allergy, Asthma, and Infant Diets" by Jane Brody

(a generally good and quite bf-supportive article -- including inter alia a
strong recommendation to bf parents to specifically ask that their newborns
NOT be given any bottles of formula in the hospital -- yeah!)

"...A study by Dr. Robert S. Zeiger, chief of allergy at the Kaiser
Permanente Medical Center in San Diego, among infants at high risk of
developing allergies showed that those who were given no cow's milk, eggs and
peanuts during infancy and whose mothers also avoided those foods while
breast-feeding developed fewer food allergies and less eczema in the first
two years of life...."
