I feel a but daft asking this, not sure if I'm being ridiculously over-cautious - please don't laugh at me
DS is coming up to 5 and she's had no nuts until now (family history of allergies/asthma etc. though no nut allergy in immediate family). I want to try her with peanut butter soon but am scared of doing it at home in case she has anaphylaxis. That's obviously the worst case scenario but if it happens then something awful could happen before there was time to get her to hospital. I've heard somebody say that they sat in the Casualty department of their hospital when giving their child nuts for the first time, should I do that?! Is that really dramatic? What did other people do?

Introducing nuts when you don't know if a child is allergic or not - where did you do this?
