Some of the advice has become controversial lately, and in truth there never was a whole lot of scientific evidence for some of these recommendations, but it's still a good page with information worth considering if you're expecting a child or if you have a new baby.
Although some of the advice on this page hasn't been scientifically proven (i.e. avoiding nuts while pregnant or breast feeding), most of the advice is common sense or solid in it's thinking and isn't too difficult for the mother or the child. Since most of the things suggested are fairly easy, it's worth trying if there is a possibility it will help prevent a child from getting food allergies. The page is easy to read and understand.
