Allergic Reaction?

[KaylaC08]

So I know this question is kind of stupid but can your baby have an allergic reaction to anything that you take or eat? I only ask because my grandmother is allergic to strawberries and I am eating a strawberry parfait not that I believe my child will be allergic to strawberries I just was wondering if your unborn baby could and how you would knowor treat it. Sorry maybe a dumb question but I was just wondering.

No I don't believe they can, but they do say that your baby is more likely to have a food allergy if you eat a lot of foods people are commonly allergic to while you are pregnant. Not sure I really believe that, but some doctors claim that to be true.

So I just googled it and the general consensus seems to be that they are really not sure but they don't think so. They think that babies my have a predisposition to allergys but that it doesn't develop until there is direct contact, and while in utero the plcenta acts as a filter so no "true" food get to baby
