My husband absolutely LOVES peanut butter!! I can't stand it!! Matt was very anxious to have Dylan on-board with him so there'd be an excuse to have more PB in the house. We were following our pediatrician's recommendations to hold off on PB until he was 3 years old because of risk of allergic reaction. At Dylan's last check up, the pediatrician told us that he has changed his stance on waiting to have peanut butter. He cited a huge study that compared many kids in two different countries -- one that waited until 3 to have PB, and another that started introducing it early on. Apparently there was no difference in allergic reaction. So Dylan was cleared to try peanut butter!! And he loved it!
We still have not given Parker peanut butter -- and won't for a little bit. We need to introduce him to other foods first.
