Just my own experience:
I have two children with many allergies each, most  environmental, but some 
foods, too.
One is allergic (per testing) to peanuts. The  other is not.
I ate peanuts and peanut butter (although never to  excess) while pregnant 
and breastfeeding both of them. They both ate peanuts and  peanut butter as 
toddlers, it was not a favorite.
The allergy and symptoms I recognized as allergic  reaction did not surface 
until post traumatic stress. We weathered Katrina, immediately following we 
weathered a very ugly  divorce and relocated. After relocating, both girls 
started displaying allergic  reaction symptoms I recognized and they were both 
tested and are being  treated.
None of us eat peanuts or peanut butter anymore.  My allergic child does 
sometimes try to convince me to allow her eat a chocolate  bar with peanuts in 
it.... and may eat some when I am not with her.

Subject: info on peanut  allergies and bf

A colleague who is not on lactnet has asked me to post  for her:

Does anyone have information, references, on peanut allergies  and bf,  
including eating (or not eating) peanuts in pregnancy? She  has had  
several questions about it recently among bf and pregnant  moms, but  
has not found much literature on the topic.

In  addition to posting your replies on the list, please email: Diana

Thank  you,

Naomi
