Any parent who has a child with a nut allergy and they will tell you haw hard it makes life for all the rest of the family too. Your grocery shop takes hours as you have to scrutinize every label to ensure it is safe for your child to eat.

Although peanut allergies are very common, they can also prove fatal as they are one of the worst allergies a child can suffer from. There are some kids whose sensitivity is so high that if there is a trace of peanut on another person’s skin they can fall dangerously ill.

A full blown allergy to peanuts is not usually diagnosed until the child is a toddler of 2, or maybe 3. If there is a history of peanuts allergy’s in the family, don’t give your child anything containing even a trace until they are at least 3.

Some doctors even tell their pregnant patients not to eat any peanuts while in their last 3 months; regardless of a history of allergy’s or not.

They don’t represent the majority of doctors, but you may be interested to know what they have to say and why.

The reason for this is that it’s possible for some of the protein in the peanuts to go into the baby via the placenta. Another study has shown that if you eat peanuts, peanut butter etc, increases the chances of your baby developing the allergy four fold.

What this doesn’t mean however, is that if there is no history of any kind of peanut allergy in your family you should stop eating them altogether. Peanuts and their by products can actually benefit both of you.

Please remember that there have been times when women with no histories of allergies have freely eaten peanuts throughout their pregnancy, only for their children to then develop the allergy. This gives you more reason to consider playing it on the safe side of things.
