My understanding (which is different than the understanding back when I had babies) is that peanut proteins pass through breast milk. Not sure about in uterero. Personally, as a mom of a peanut allergic child who was encouraged to eat peanuts as a source of protein while pregnant and nursing, I would choose to avoid them while pregnant.
I've spent the last 19 years feeling bad about passing all those peanut proteins to my son. Obviously nothing I can do about it now, and I knew nothing about it at the time. However, I'm pretty surprised that peanuts are being recommended during pregnancy. I know at one point (late 90's?) they were NOT.
Obviously, not every baby exposed to peanuts gets a peanut allergy, but why risk it?
