Yesterday my baby girl got her first exposure to egg which resulted in a trip via ambulance to hospital. While in hospital and after they'd given her some drugs to help with the reaction she was a big grizzly so they suggested I give her a feed to try and calm her. Within about a minute of being on the breast the redness all came back into her face with small swelling. I immediately stopped feeding her and called the doctor back telling her that I'd had eggs for breakfast myself. In one breath they told me that they had seen a woman whose baby had an anaphylactic response to the peanuts her mother had consumed that went through the breastmilk and that accordingly my baby could be having the same issues, but then told me not to worry about avoiding egg myself and that I should continue feeding her.

I wasn't very happy with the information and advice we got yesterday in general so will be taking it up with my own GP this week, but just wondering if anyone else has had this sort of experience. Needless to say, I won't be eating egg myself until we get some answers. Thanks.
