[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 756, member: 1"] [URL='https://consumer.healthday.com/pregnancy-information-29/pregnancy-news-543/no-link-between-mom-to-be-s-diet-baby-s-allergy-risk-740731.html'][B]No Link Between Mom-to-Be's Diet, Baby's Allergy Risk - Healthday[/B][/URL] Avoiding certain foods during pregnancy does not reduce your child's risk of food allergies, a new analysis shows. For the study, researchers examined data from a 2005 to 2007 survey of 4,900 pregnant women who were part of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study. Nearly 3 percent of the women said they restricted certain foods during pregnancy in the belief that it would prevent future food allergies in their children. That included 1.7 percent who ate fewer nuts, 0.3 percent who ate fewer eggs, and 0.04 percent who ate less dairy. "At the time the survey was conducted, few pregnant women in this large data set said they gave up certain foods with the express aim of avoiding a food allergy in their babies," said study leader Dr. Karen Robbins. She is an allergist at Children's National Health System in Washington, D.C. "However, mothers who had an older child with a food allergy or who had food allergies themselves had significantly higher odds of trying this food avoidance strategy," Robbins said in a hospital news release.
