The problem is that you cannot eliminate everything and there is a huge debate of whether you should hold foods back or not. <BR/><BR/>We decided to give our second daughter everything (except egg, shellfish and peanut - to avoid our oldest wanting some too!). <BR/><BR/>We watched carefully when new foods were introduced and so far so good ... except for a mild reaction to mushrooms.<BR/><BR/>I am still convinced of a genetic predisposition to allergy with some sort of 'randomness' to actually trigger the predisposition into a full-blown allergy.

The older one got BM in a bottle maybe once a week, and still developed a peanut allergy that tested >100 on his RAST test. So it's not all about the bottles -- it's probably more about genetics.wenathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487808951051912588noreply@blogger.com
