But recent research indicates that avoiding peanuts while you are pregnant or nursing will not protect your children from allergies. In fact, mothers who eat the most peanuts appear to have children with the lowest incidence of peanut allergy.
That means your doctor will not advise you to avoid certain foods during pregnancy to prevent food allergies — though he or she will advocate a healthy pregnancy diet. There are also other foods you should avoid during pregnancy for reasons unrelated to causing allergies in children. The AAP also no longer recommends delaying introducing certain solid foods because of the potential for allergic reactions. In fact, the AAP actually now recommends introducing peanuts to babies earlier, between 4 and 6 months of age, to prevent allergies.
Of course, if you suspect that your child has a food sensitivity, you can have your little one tested at any time by an allergist.
