If my baby is allergic to peanuts, will they automatically be allergic to hazelnuts and walnuts?

No, not automatically. Botanically, peanuts are legumes; hazelnuts and walnuts belong to the tree nut group. Because their allergen structures are different, a baby allergic to one is not necessarily allergic to the others. However, in some children, both peanut allergies and one or more tree nut allergies can occur. Only a pediatric allergy specialist can determine which nuts your child needs to avoid through skin prick testing or blood tests. Never test other nuts at home without doctor approval if your child has a peanut allergy.
