I ate tons of peanut butter when I was pregnant. I craved it constantly, and ate it several times a week. I've often guiltily wondered if my consumption played any role in DJ's peanut allergy. According to this article in the
Post, maybe. Great. Nothing like a little maternal guilt to start the week.
I have never been a big fan of peanuts/peanut butter so I rarely consumed them during my pregnancy/breast feeding days. My son does however have a mild (very mild) peanut allergy. His dairy and egg allergies are much more severe. I ate a lot of dairy and eggs while pregnant and breastfeeding. Mommy guilt can eat you up!
ReplyDeleteI did not eat any nuts or peanuts during pregnancy or while nursing. Yet, my daughter wound up with an allery to both treenuts and peanuts!
