Food Allergies & Breastfeeding?

[Guest guest]

Ok.. another question from the inexperienced LOL ; ) For those of you who are familiar with my posts... you know that my DD, Sara, is allergic to eggs (excema). Here is my question...

I am currently pregnant and expecting in about 3 weeks. I intended to nurse (for as long as possible).. but am becoming concerned that I will have to be so very cautious about my own diet and introducing allergens to the baby, that perhaps I should FF to prevent the risk of exposure?

I guess my question is (are) will my second child be more likely to develop food allergies because my older one has them? And if so, would anyone suggest NOT breastfeeding because of the possibility of sensitivity and exposure?

I hope this question makes sense to you... hope to hear some insight!

TIA!!
