Is peanut butter good for you ?

[Monkeysmom]

What are the benefits of peanut butter, if any and is it OK to give to my 11 mo ? No history of alergies in family as far as I know.

Hunker.

Horses fer courses, innit? No allergies in family, then go for it. But if I had the slightest doubt I would certainly wait. (Or, a la Nigella, hold off giving them their first peanut butter sandwich until you're sitting outside the doctor's surgery!)

Right, well I guess the answer to the thread title question is YES, peanut butter is good for you. Advice differs about whether children should be allowed it and at what age though. And every person should do the research and do what's right for them!
