I don't think that you would have to avoid it. I don't think that the gluten would be able to get into breastmilk and babies who have coeliac don't develop symptoms until they come into contact with wheat through a weaning diet. I think that the best thing to do would be to contact the coeliac support group coleic uk \link{http://www.coeliac.co.uk}

I've just looked myself and it just seems to say breast or bottle feed as normal.
