I'm nervous to give my son peanut butter/peanuts and kinda almost just wish someone would do it for me without telling me so I don't have to over think it!

And then he told me about it a week later that she had no reaction.

If an allergy exists, the doc said that the first exposure is not likely to be severe. It worsens with each subsequent exposure so my LO hasn't had any peanuts since. We had her allergy confirmed by an allergist after that. travelgirl1 on "How did you first try peanut butter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-first-try-peanut-butter#post-1372271 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 22:04:26 +0000 travelgirl1 1372271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I just put a bit on my finger for her to lick off. mrskc on "How did you first try peanut butter?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-first-try-peanut-butter#post-1372269 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 22:03:58 +0000 mrskc 1372269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I put some on my finger and he licked it off.
