: As far as allergies running in the family, there are
: absolutely no food allergies in my family or in my
: husbands'.  I guess we're lucky.

absolutely no food allergy history in either parents' family.
Dad had hay fever as an adolescent... but no longer.  And, cats,
but that's it.

So, you might end up here for food allergies anyway!  (and, yes,
Alyssa was breastfed for 6 months, and got hives the first time she
touched ice cream at six months old - it wasn't even hers!).
