Peanut butter?

[DetentionGrrrl]

Is there any reason i can't give DS (almost 7mths) peanut butter? Am i right in thinking there's only a cause for concern if there's a history of allergies in the family?

No peanuts before age of 1 is the guideline if no history of allergies I think.

early introduction has been linked to allergies in later life.

Actually, peanut butters are considered ok form 6 months if there are no allergic diseases in the family:

Is it safe for my baby to have nuts and nut products?

When is it safe to feed my baby nuts?

I stand corrected!

Follow Nigella's example and give DC their first taste of PB in the doctor's surgery just in case

with allergies though it is subsequent exposures that result in the reaction
