I modified the title, because it said ggg allergy, LOL

If it was me, I deft. would avoid eggs.  I really don't know if there are any studies shown that avoiding an allergy one of your child has had will decrease the chances of your next child developing it or not.

BUT.. I have heard so many mother's sware by it.  Also I know some doctor's do say to avoid the common allergens while pregnant - Peanuts for sure.

If I was going to have more kids, I 100% would avoid every ounce of milk.  Both of my kids had problems with milk and soy.

I say it can't hurt.  Can't be for certain, but you will never know. 

Hugs and CONGRATS!!! Wendy

I completely agree with Wendy. It really can't do any harm so definately worth doing in my opinion.

I have a load of allergies so have done lots of research into this as wanted to avoid my LO getting any of my allergies.  It is best to avoid egg while preggers if your 1st has an allergy and don't give it to your 2nd until she is a year old.  Then test it out, on its own at lunch time for 3 days in a row.  At the other meals don't introduce anything new.  Also egg and dairy allergy can be related, so be careful with cows milk with both your LOs.

Hope this helps
