Breastfeeding whilst eating nuts (esp if baby has eczema)

[Mytortoiseisbetter]

Apparently this is bad.(I am reading Dr Sophie Farooque’s book.
we certainly didn’t know this in 2005/6. Is this known/said now?

the idea seems to be that eating nuts v young is good but getting them on your skin without eating them is bad.

We now have nut allergy to deal with…

Does she have a nut allergy?

Never heard of that

the idea seems to be that eating nuts v young is good but getting them on your skin without eating them is bad.

This is true. It is recommended to introduce nuts (eg diluted peanut butter) for high-risk children from about 4 months. It's thought that nut proteins entering via the skin when child has eczema may trigger allergies.
Not sure about breastfeeding but wouldn't nut dust etc be a risk if mother is eating nuts at home?

Yes - nut dust was the idea. Not the milk itself. Because it’s a protein it lingers in the home and touches the child’s skin.
