A member asked:
Can eating too much peanut butter while pregnant give your unborn child a peanut allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: There is some evidence that exposure to peanut butter in pregnancy can increase the fetal risk of an allergy, but the risk seems to be limited to those with a strong family history of this allergy.
