When did you start giving peanut butter

[Missy Lou]

hey steph.  my friend's DH is an ER doc and they gave both their boys PB at about 15 months.  but Addison's doc said 2 years because of allergies.  we don't have peanut allergies in our family. 

i see a lot that LOs like PB and i'm at a loss of what else to give her because she's in picky stage.  but i guess we'll keep waiting too.

My pedi suggests 3yo for peanut butter and 6 for whole nuts.

I was planning on waiting until 3 but a few weeks ago my friends fed DD whole peanuts by the handful when I wasn't around (my fault I guess so I didn't tell them NOT to). The next morning they tried to offer her PB toast but I told them no. They have 4 kids and have never heard of anything so crazy

Again, it's like anything, you have to do what you feel comfortable with and of course depends on your LO.

we have no history of peanut allergies, but that's such a bad one & i am super paranoid so jaina did not have PB until she was 3.  luke has had tastes here & there since he was 2, but not too many.

We waited until Maya was 2.
