I went to visit a friend today who's recently had a baby. When I asked how DS sleeps, she replied " well " and then proceeded to tell me she feeds DS porridge at night before she puts him down.

DS is 12 weeks. I didn't say anything as it's not my place but I'm wondering if this harmful?

Who recommends introducing peanuts from 4 months?

No guidelines in England would suggest that.

Sure, the evidence suggests that doing so decreases the chances of developing a food allergy but who is recommending giving a 4 month old peanuts in any form?

UK Medical researchers.

It's not NHS advice yet but the results of their studies was announced two weeks ago.

It was 16 weeks when my eldest was born so most were giving tastes younger, it really wasn't an issue. It was 4-6 months when dd2 was born. I'm not even sure of why it changed
