^ Agree!!

FWIW I ate crunchy peanut butter slathered about two inches thick on a piece of toast EVERY single morning during my first pregnancy, because that, a piece of toast with butter & Vegemite (also slathered two inches thick) and a huge glass of long-life milk (had to be long-life, 'fresh' just didn't hit the spot) was the ONLY thing that stopped me spewing my guts up until 2pm. Every day. Without fail.

I then got told by a midwife that I shouldn't be eating nut products or strawberries during pg as 'the baby might be allergic and if so, you'll end up having a stillborn'. Hey, cheers, way to reassure a paranoid first-time mother!

And for the record, my very healthy now-3yo LOVES peanut butter and all other types of nuts (and about every other potential allergen under the sun) and is perfectly fine. I never held off giving her anything, in fact I probably introduced potential allergens (egg, dairy, nuts, shellfish etc) much earlier than the current recommendations. Meh. Hospital's a couple of minutes away, I've seen my mum have a reaction to nuts so I know what to look for. No worries here
