Another topic of interest is maternal peanut consumption during pregnancy and lactation. The research
suggests that peanut avoidance during pregnancy and lactation is not necessary in mothers who do not have the
allergy themselves, as it has no impact on allergy development4. Maternal peanut consumption during pregnancy
might actually reduce the infants risk of developing the allergy5.
