Regarding:  Last evening, I took a Lactation class at the hospital
        where I will be delivering.  According to the
        instructor, children who are breast-fed do not develop
        milk allergies.  I'm questioning this generalization.
        ==============

Not in my case with both my boys!  Neither could have dairy.  However, one
of my children was able to nurse for a few years when I was off ALL dairy
products myself.  (I also avoided peanuts, gassy foods etc.)  The other
child nursed up to 7 months.  But nursing certainly did not keep them from
having milk allergies.  :-)
