<< I had to respond to this.  I am a La Leche League Leader and I have nursed
 four of my own babies.  It is absolutely impossible for a baby to be
allergic
 to his mother's milk.  Babies with galactosemia, a rare metabolic disorder
in
 which the infant totally lacks the enzyme lactase, cannot drink their
 mother's milk or any milk, but this is not allergy related.  The proteins in
 human milk are entirely compatible with human babies.
 Every mammal makes the milk that is perfect for their own babies.  Cow's
 would not do very well on human milk; there would not be enough protein for
 growth. >>


THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE!  MY SON COULD NOT TOLERATE MY MILK AND I HAD NO
DAIRY OF ANY KIND!!!  HE REFUSED TO NURSE BECAUSE HE VOMITED AFTER EVERY
FEEDING!  I WAS FORCED TO USE SOY FORMULA WITH WHICH HE HAD NO PROBLEMS!
