Discussing Allergies and Breastfeeding with Dr Robert Boyle, a Paediatric Allergy Specialist and one of the members of the LLLGB Panel of Professional Advisors
Q: What is your view on the recommendation to remove dairy from a breastfeeding mother’s diet?
I think that removing dairy is not necessary unless a severe reaction is observed, as only tiny quantities of allergens get into breast milk.

Q: Why do you think there’s a perception that allergies are becoming more common?
I believe that while societal responses to allergies have changed and become more pronounced, the actual prevalence of food allergies hasn't significantly increased over the last few decades.
