I know this sounds dumb but can I prevent food allergies in the baby?

Question

I was wondering if for example I ate a lot of peanut butter or shellfish during pregnancy if that would prevent baby from having those food allergies later on?

Answer

I've been told yes by some and no by others. However my oldest has alot of food allergies, including a life threatening allergy to egg. And I ate plenty of egg and basically everything else hes allergic to while I was pregnant, so in my experience no... it doesn't help.

Answer

All I craved was dairy my first pregnancy and my son came out with a severe milk allergy that hospitalized him at 6 weeks old. 🤷🏻‍♀️ no one in our family has/had a milk allergy.

Answer

From what I've read, yes it can help. I've also read tho that if you yourself have any type of food allergy specifically a bad one that you should stay away from them. Research seems to contradict itself but I plan on eating as many different types off old including allergy prone ones as I can.

Answer

I was told that it can help prevent allergies in babies!

Answer

I was told yes, you don’t have to eat things like crazy but eating things may help
