Some allergens pass through breast milk, but not all of them. The research is still in progress figuring out exactly which allergens can pass through breastmilk. Research has shown that how much of the food your baby eats is more important - if they just have a taste of the food and only occasionally, they are still at risk for allergies. Feeding allergens directly early and often is key. There is no evidence to support that a mother's diet can influence the development of a food allergy. If you are breastfeeding, you do not need to make any adjustments to your own diet when it comes to allergenic foods. You can ensure allergens are properly introduced to your baby with our staged Mix-ins, adding the allergen powder to your bottle or applying it to your nipple as you breastfeed.
