Can totally breastfed babies develop devere allergy symptoms?
In a family with a history of allergy special care is needed to avoid allergens during pregnancy and also during the early development of the baby. Even babies who are totally breast fed can develop allergic reactions. Food allergens in the mother’s diet can appear in her breast milk within 2 to 6 hours. Even aeroallergens such as pollen allergens and house dust mite allergens that the mother is exposed to can appear in the breast milk. The allergens in the breast milk can sensitize the baby or provoke symptoms in babies who are already sensitized. Allergy symptoms can develop in predisposed infants continuously exposed to food allergens or aeroallergens in breast milk.
