Just watched a VERY short piece on this evening's news (CTV News) which
briefly described how scientists have discovered a link between peanut
allergies and breast milk.  It stated that an infant may be exposed to
peanuts and traces thereof much earlier than once thought as it is excreeted
into the breast milk approximately 2 hours after the mother consumes peanut
butter or the like.  It sent a warning specifically about high risk children
... those whose mother and/or father have nut allergies as well as those
who are at risk for or have asthma and other respitory illnesses.  Has
anyone else heard/read such information?  Interesting piece.  Seemed quite
conclusive in its findings.

Ate gallons of peanut butter during my pregnancy and while b/f.  No
allergies so far here!
