Has mom been checked for hyperthyroidism? What about an eating disorder like bulimia? As for the peanuts, I agree and have recently read in a childbirth educator newsletter that ANY food that is consumed frequently during the pregnancy can sensitize and predispose to allergy. So the advice is to eat a VARIETY of foods. Maybe the mom could be referred to a nutritionist for some diet help. Laurie Wheeler, RN, MN, IBCLC Violet Louisiana, s.e.
