I baked a banana bread loaf and it has chocolate chips in it. I give tiny pieces of the loaf to Sebastien who is 9 months old, and I always make sure that there is no chocolate chips in the piece I give him. I also don't give him pieces that were around a chocolate chip because there is always a little bit of melted chocolate on those pieces and I'm afraid of allergens.
So I'm wondering; is chocolate an allergen like peanuts? Or is it just a matter of not feeding chocolate to your baby just like you wouldn't feed your baby candy? Basically, I would never feed chocolate to Sebastien at his age, but what if there are trace amounts in something?
Thanks!
