Ok, assuming she did ingest enough to cause her reaction (vomiting), how
long would she have to wait to nurse to be sure she didn't pass any along to
her baby? (How long could peanut proteins probably be found in her milk?) I
understand that if a woman has been eating something, like dairy, that is
causing problems for her baby, it make take up to several weeks to clear her
system and baby's system of dairy to see if there is any improvement. But,
in this case, she had only a one-time exposure and was vomiting ten minutes
later.
