Do you eat peanut butter?

dixielane · May 2010

Is it okay to eat PB while BFing if you have no peanut allergies or peanut allergies in the family? My pedi OK'd it for me since I LOVE PB, but I am now reading conflicting information online from other mamas. So what have you decided?

I ate it often when nursing DS1. I would steer clear if there was a family history of food allergies, but both sides are free from them.

I don't think I could live without peanut butter!

I'm gonna go make a sammich then... LOL I love PB! I was hoping I didnt have to avoid it.

I eat it. I love it too much to not eat it.

I ate peanut butter like a madwoman while pregnant and while nursing. Turns out, my daughter is highly allergic to peanuts. Her allergist assured me that there have been no conclusive studies to link peanut/peanut butter consumption in the mother with allergies in the kids. So, ENJOY!

I eat it! I also enjoy almond butter everyday

I hate PB - I've been told that makes me very strange! lol

Peanut butter has practically been my main source of sustenance from the time I got pregnant and will continue to be for a while. It's so easy to slap together a peanut butter sandwich while holding DS in one arm or in his sling. I also love Nutella, which is hazelnut.

Good to know. I also ate PB all thru my pregnancy, and almond butter. And PB crackers.

Mmmm..PB crackers....mmmmm...now I'm hungry!

I eat it every day. I'm not a huge meat eater so I figure I have to get protein from something. I did the same while nursing DD#1 and she has no issues. She loves it too!

No universal food restrictions while nursing.

I eat it several times a week. No peanut allergies on either side of our family and pedi said it was fine.

I eat it almost every day, when I was pregnant and now.

I think I read something on the AAP site where they said that there's no evidence that avoiding allergenic foods is protective against allergies. And we have no family history of nut allergies anyway.

I might die if I had to avoid peanut butter. I sometimes eat it with a spoon now when the cravings start. I just keep telling myself: Protein! Protein!
