Recent research suggests that if you have a lot of nut sensitivities in your family, you should refrain from eating them during pregnancy. According to the article, asthma rates could be increased.

In terms of nut consumption during breastfeeding, there are suggestions that eating any peanuts during lactation could result in your child being allergic to nuts. If you have a strong family history of nut allergy, think twice. Be very cautious when giving your child nut products for the first time and don’t do so during infant or young toddler stages.

Heredity can play a large part in whether or not allergies happen and if you consume certain foods before the immune system is mature enough, it could create allergies.
