Newsflash: We took Jeremy to the allergist to check what we thought was an egg allergy, and it turns out that he's not allergic to eggs but is allergic to peanuts and cats! Fortunately, it is a myth that kids can have reactions from being in a room with peanuts, and he's not so allergic that he can't have things processed in plants with peanuts. Also, the doctor said that we had about a 50:50 chance of him growing out of both (whew!), so long as we avoid peanuts until he is 3, and while we're at it, we should avoid fish and shellfish and tree nuts too. And I do mean "we"; so long as I'm nursing, I can't have any of the allergens either. However, he also stressed how great it was that I was still nursing- he says that my antibodies are still protecting him, and it is certainly the reason why Jeremy has never been sick. "Don't listen to anybody who tries to pressure you to stop- nurse for as long as you and he enjoy doing so. Most of the world nurses until after age 4." I can't see lasting that long, but it's nice to get a doctor's support.
And here are some little videos: most recent first-
