That really sucks. Does he have an anaphylactic reaction, or is it more mild? My mother also developed a later in life peanut allergy. If she eats peanuts, she gets hives, but she's never had a more severe reaction. She doesn't eat them at all anymore, which is kind of amazing. She LOVED peanuts, like could put away a jar of peanut butter alone in a day. And did. I've come to find out after the fact that he did have an anaphylactic reaction once. He told me days later while recounting the incident to someone else and I got so pissed. Seriously dude, one of the things you tell your wife when you're dealing with a reaction is "I'm having trouble breathing." Facepalm. ETA: We've always been able to arrest a reaction with OTC antihistamines. I feel so much better now that I carry an EpiPen for my allergy shots, knowing that I have something with a little more oomph if he gets a cross contamination. I could see my H doing this . Possibly followed by, "I swear I told you!"

H will drink booze whenever his throat is getting itchyr. Never happy that he is willing to chance it.

My H also developed a (tree) nut allergy as an adult. His doctors theorize that it was caused by over exposure. I wonder if you mom's allergy developed similarly, efmcc67.

I was just reading about this last night. The book I was reading (Babies 411) said that if a parent has an allergy, baby has a 25% chance of getting it and a 75% chance of not getting it. So those are pretty decent odds if that helps you feel better at all. #notaparentyet I forgot to reply. I think the chances increase slightly due to me having seasonal allergies and bleach gives me rashes.

So H talked to the pediatrician on Wednesday. We are not allowed to start peanuts or treenuts products until 9 months due to H. And that I can do the rubbing and almond or othee treenuts on her face. Everything else is okay at their normal timelines (but he forgot to ask when its fine to give fish). And she is going to push an allergist to see her after 9 months due to how bad H's one allergy is.
