Allergies

Does anyone know if an infant can inherit an allergy from a parent?  For example, MH is allergic to strawberries and melons.  He doesn't have a severe, immediate reaction, but even a stray contact makes him head for the Benadryl.  If I eat strawberry or melon items, I can't kiss him until I brush my teeth.

If I eat one of those items, can it pass through my BM and into LO, and cause her to have an allergic reaction?  Or is she protected by my antibodies?
