Q Does eating peanut butter during pregnancy cause peanut allergies in the child?
Allergies are hereditary and dont have anything to do with eating the foods while pregnant. Allergies tend to run in families. If your child has a sibling or parent with an allergic condition such as asthma, hay fever or eczema, she is more likely to develop an allergy to foods such as peanuts. Children who have a peanut allergy often have eczema or asthma (or both) as well. If your child has a peanut allergy, her immune system will react after shes eaten peanuts, because it wrongly sees this food as a threat. So, if there is positive history of peanut allergy then only strictly avoid it, otherwise no need to worry any food article doesn~t produce any allergy unless and until your genes are allergic to that particular food.nThank you.
