Can you eat peanuts?

[Ahurani]

Because Im eating them now and they are awesome?

I don't normally eat many nuts or nut products, but soon as I am pg I do. I have peanut butter almost every morning on my toast.

There are some reports that suggest this will cause my DDnearly 3 and bub on the way to have nut allegies. DD1 doesn't have any and can eat peanut butter with no reaction. So for me and my children I don't have any issues with it.

Everyone is different though.

I think if there are allergies in your family from them, then be cautious. Otherwise, go for it!

Some 'experts' say you can and some say you shouldn't. I did, (as have soooo many other people) and my kids are fine. The only thing I think is to take into consideration when weighing up the decision is if you have nut allergies, you might want to avoid them. Otherwise, I would say ENJOY!!

[FabFiona]

Hi hon, I remember asking the same question. It turns out I ate HEAPS of nuts including peanuts almost every day! the only family history is a 1st cousin who has to carry around one of they injection thingo cause he's allergic but I read that you can cause allergies by avoiding foods so I just ate them. enjoy
