Can I do something during pregnancy to reduce the risk of allergies in my child?

Despite a recent study showing that eliminating peanuts from a pregnancy mom's diet - especially when there is a predisposing family history of allergies - can be beneficial, there is currently no consensus or concrete evidence that restricting a mother's diet during pregnancy plays a significant role in the development of allergies in children. In addition, dietary restrictions in the prenatal period may lead to deficiencies that could have harmful consequences for you and your baby.
