I'm surprised no one recommends in this article that mothers breastfeed their babies for at least 6 months. This practice often wards off allergies in babies.

This is great. We're going in tomorrow to have our almost 14 month old to have her allergy tested. Our 3 year old has several food allergies and while he was tested and diagnosed really early (9 months), accidental food challenges have proven the initial diagnosis.
