Completely the Breast Feeding one really ...I agree. Completely the Breast Feeding one really gets me. I have severe, life threatening food allergies. I was asking about peanuts in a restaurant, and this woman at the next table adressed my mother.<br /><br />I bet you didn't breast feed - see what you did to your child. I was 30 something. We were going to cancel our order and leave. But while telling the manager why, the lady made a snarky remark and the manager told her to leave. Yea Manager.<br /><br />Some things the woman had no way of knowing.<br />1. My Mom was a research scientist.<br /><br />2. My Mom was involved with the 1st kidney transplants in Houston.<br /><br />3. My Mom was tested regularly for hepatitis because of exposure to blood.<br /><br />4. Mom tested positive - death's door positive one time. The doc she worked for redid the test because mom had no symptoms. She tested negative. In all probability she never had it. Still to be safe she couldn't donate blood or breast feed.<br /><br />5. I had my first allergic reaction in the 1st HOUR of life. I reacted to the detergent used to wash the blankets.<br /><br />6. The skin condition I have has a HIGH coloration to peanut and food allergies. <br /><br />7. My cousin breast fed - extended. Her 2nd son has a milder version of my skin condition. So they had the blood test done before starting him on solids. He tested positive for peanuts and slew of other things. They kept him on a restricted diet. He had follow up tests. As his immune system matured, he started testing negative to things. Now only Peanuts in on the list. That is probably going to be life long. <br /><br />Sometimes genetics bites you. In our case everyone is still alive, skin condition is manageable and peanuts are avoidable.kherberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03282935413300573346noreply@blogger.com
