Peanut butter?

[Cherished]

Hi everyone, I know this sounds like such a weird question but do you eat peanut butter? In one of my pregnancy books it suggests to avoid peanuts and peanut butter during pregnancy especially if there is any family history to allergies or intolerance to nuts......

What are your thoughts?

I've been eating it?

[sloane]

yeah, i didn't read anything about it until i was about 35 weeks PG & by then i'd been eating peanut butter on toast at least two or three times a week my entire PG!

not sure if that's recommended, but everything worked out okay here.

I am another who eats it... peanuts are just too good

I've been eating it too even though I know about it!!!!!! I've really wanted it and it's not something that I 'usually' have on my toast so I figured that if I was kinda craving it then it must be ok for the baby iykwim BUT I wanted to post this thread about it just incase there were stories out there that I really should listen to and therefore stop eating peanut butter... Because of my losses in the past I can't believe that I would even risk it I mean am I crazy!?

Yep I ate it throughout both my pregnancies. DS loves peanut butter!

Its a myth.. no scientific evidence to support it. I ate heaps of peanut butter and nuts while pregnant and DD loves it.
