Riley has been having raisins, cranberries etc for a long time now, since before 18 months, I think? Can't quite remember.
The popcorn I believe is considered a choking hazard til well gone the 3 year mark. The advice on peanut butter vaires depending on where you live. Some say it's okay thinly spread on something when they are a year old, in other countries it is advised to skip it until 3 years. For allergy and choking reasons.

Riley (28 months) had some mini marshmallows today and loved them!

 i work in the daycare field in canada and daycares here in manitoba don't give popcorn, dried fruit eg) raisins or peanut better till 3 years.  Popcorn adn raisin, etc are def chocking hazards and peanut butter is
allergy thing so we are peanut free.  i do however give my 13 month old marshmellows as they desolve smoothly and are very soft.
