I'm petrified of even trying to be honest. Ds1 had a couple of reactions to peanuts when he was tiny, not major, antihistamine and a trip to the doctor involved. He had skin prick tests when he was four and the allergy nurse said judging by the size of the hive that he should carry an epipen and avoid all nuts, even though peanuts were the only positive reaction.
Ds2 &DD have never had any peanuts. 4 and 2 years. I feel I should be letting them try, as I'm sure I read that total avoidance can lead to developing allergies. But I'm too scared to try. I am a very anxious person anyway.
How should we proceed? Park up near a hospital and give them a tiny taste?
Also, I was wondering about tree nuts too. Could DS be more likely to develop an allergy to them by total avoidance? I really wanted them all to eat nuts and have been including small amounts of ground almonds in baking. Bad idea or ok? Don't want to confuse them, so we tell them no nuts of any kind. I'm very confused and anxious myself. Any advice much appreciated.
