"Don't eat peanuts during pregnancy." That's what they say. Really? Because its part of my diet...I love peanut butter, I crave it. So because I can't restrain myself I'm going to give my child a peanut allergy? What?!
Yet on the other hand, they say that if you have carrot juice and other odd nutritious things while you are pregnant you give your baby a chance to taste them, therefore increasing his chances of liking these vitamin-filled delights when he starts eating solids. Whereas not eating them during pregnancy can put a child off of them when it comes time to start eating solids.
Okay, so wouldn't eating peanuts get his system used to peanuts and develop the same food passion for them as his mother?
I am certain my mother ate peanut butter when she was pregnant with me.
