My first-born reacts anaphylactically to dairy and began to do so as an infant. I was advised by my child's allergist to breastfeed exclusively and omit dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, nuts, peanuts, fish and shellfish from my diet for the entire first year that I was pregnant with my second and third children. I stuck to it pretty well on the first go (with the second child) and no allergies have developed (she's almost three). I have not been as strict, and have eaten some dairy with the baby who is now ten months - again, to no reactions. I don't know of any research to support or condemn this method - this is simply the advice that I was given and it seems to have worked successfully. Peace of mind might be worth 6 months more without dairy??...
Hope all works out well,
