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?
