He's allergic. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2357992 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 11:26:56 +0000 ElbieKay 2357992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mixed some peanut butter with breast milk and fed it to him in the pediatrician's waiting room before either his 6mo or 9mo visit, I forget which. Nothing happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2357974 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 11:19:58 +0000 Anagram 2357974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let LO try it around 7 months, against the advice of my ped. My LO already had MSPI, so the doctor said she had a higher chance of reactions to the foods and wanted me to stick to cereals and introducing one veggie at a time with long wait times in between....but I had already read a study about early exposure, so I did almond milk and peanut butter really early.</p> <p>No reactions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2357960 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 11:15:35 +0000 Ms maths 2357960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of our kids have had peanut butter before 1 year. We don't have a history of food allergies, so we have given them all common allergens (wheat, eggs, shell fish, nut butters, etc) early--whenever we happened to be eating it--and without any fanfare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2357952 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 11:12:42 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2357952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The ped said at her 9 month check up that we should start introducing it because studies have shown that the longer we wait, the more likely an allergy to it would be. Paraphrasing a bit. So we have her a fracker with pb on it and no reaction. Phew! We love pb in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2357931 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 11:05:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2357931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: what a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354863 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 19:37:54 +0000 Miss Ariel 2354863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did around 9 months based on our drs advice. We keep meaning to do seafood as well, but haven't done it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354834 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 19:16:24 +0000 autumnleaves 2354834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we introduced it at 8 or 9 months. First we tried the Bamba snack but he liked it better when we put a small spoon of peanut butter in his oatmeal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354817 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 18:56:08 +0000 JenGirl 2354817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! We plan tointroduce peanut butter early! And I made a point to eat it while pregnant and now that I'm breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354806 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 18:46:11 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2354806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave DD a fingertip of peanut butter ice cream with Reece's Cups in it without thinking about it at 3 months (Oops!). She was fine and I think we'll try straight peanut butter before her 6 month appointment in a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354800 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 18:40:23 +0000 YouGotMe 2354800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The ped. had just finished research on a similar study so she insisted that we try peanut butter, fish and egg at 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354786 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 18:28:34 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2354786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to introduce peanut butter early. DH has always had the theory that allergies are partly from lack of exposure so it's nice to get research to back that up. I like the idea of trying it right before a doctor's appointment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354619 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 16:23:51 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2354619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: good idea! We've already had our 6 month well visit but maybe we'll do that for her 9 month check! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354392 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:04:11 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2354392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave it at six months to both girls about half an hour before well visits at the pediatrician. Thankfully neither have had any reactions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354371 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:53:45 +0000 Cole 2354371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went for peanut butter since the nuts are not ideal for babies. We tried it at nine months and thankfully it went well. I was really nervous because my husband is extremely allergic (like he went into anaphylactic shock from shaking hands with someone who had eaten peanuts a couple of months ago.) We can't keep it in the house so we went to a friend's house to try it, she lives two blocks from the hospital and I had benadryl drawn up in a syringe already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introduction-of-peanuts#post-2354294 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 14:27:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2354294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year there was a study done that introduction of peanuts to a baby's diet may be beneficial earlier rather than later. </p> <p><a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/23/feeding-infants-peanut-products-could-prevent-allergies-study-suggests/?_r=0" rel="nofollow">http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/23/feeding-infants-peanut-products-could-prevent-allergies-study-suggests/?_r=0</a></p> <p>Do you plan to give your baby peanuts or foods containing peanut protein? </p>
