(http://www.niaid.nih.gov/topics/foodAllergy/understanding/Pages/Pregnancy.aspx) My gut instinct tells me that this can't be right, but maybe it's just that I'm so used to restricting the foods that come into our home to keep my husband safe.<br /><br />It's really difficult to handle this type of info as it flip-flops every few years, and I think that there will eventually be some middle ground recommendations.<br /><br />But as the mother of a 5.5 month old who has only ever known breastmilk, it's even more stressful to wonder if I'm doing the right thing!
