Breastfeeding and nut allergies

[EDmummy]

Just came across this article http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/lifestyle/a/-/health/14207771 about nut allergy and breastfeeding. Interesting but I do wish they wouldn't call peanuts 'nuts'! They are legumes!! My brother is allergic to legumes but not to nuts, my friend's son is allergic to nuts not to legumes (ie., can eat peanuts). Lazy journalism?

It would be interesting to know who funded this "research".

My daughter has a peanut and nut allergy and I suspected she would have from the moment she was born even though it didn't present itself until she was 3. I doubt there was anything I could have done about it....
