bf an infant with allergies

littlebriderachel

Hi there!  I actually haven't had our LO yet, but we're only a few days away from the due date.  My husband has several severe food allergies (all nuts, sesame, shellfish), and had even more when he was an infant (milk, strawberries).  I fully plan on breastfeeding our little one, but I just started realizing that I may need to change my diet BEFORE little one arrives in hopes of avoiding any allergic reactions right off the bat. 

 With that in mind, does anyone have any experience with this?  Should I eliminate all allergens (dairy, strawberries, sesame, nuts, shellfish) NOW from my diet?  Or is that overkill?  Thanks in advance for any advice you may have!
