I tell parents to just plan it around the 12 month visit to their primary care doc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-797551 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:31:07 +0000 winniebee 797551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He had some lobster salad around 11 months with no issue.</p> <p>Haven't tried nut byproducts yet.</p> <p>Cow's milk is next on our list and so I'm not going to give nuts til after we're in the clear on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-797539 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:28:40 +0000 Freckles 797539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: My friend was so scared the first time she gave her LO peanut butter. She was sitting in the parking lot by the hospital's emergency room..just in case!</p> <p>We gave peanut butter at 10 months and shellfish at 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-797471 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:15:26 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 797471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We knew Lala was cashew allergic from 8 months onward, so we gave her peanut butter around a year when we had a doctor's appointment (allergist) so that she'd be in a safe place if she had a reaction. For M. we just did it early, but we had no reason to think she had any allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-797455 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:12:54 +0000 Lozza 797455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't remember precisely, but probably both around 9 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-797353 Tue, 21 May 2013 09:48:15 +0000 GrapeCrush 797353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he had shrimp, lobster and crab at around 9 months i'd say. and my father let him try some peanut butter cookie at about 9 months too.....but we didn't give peanut butter until 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-797349 Tue, 21 May 2013 09:45:59 +0000 looch 797349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At around one year, my son showed interest in a piece of shrimp on my plate, so I let him try it. I think he liked dipping it in the mango chutney more than anything.</p> <p>As for nuts, peanut butter at around 14 months. Love at first lick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-797344 Tue, 21 May 2013 09:44:39 +0000 BelugaBean 797344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to try both of these after she turns 1. Her pediatrician told us that for all of his kids he waited until a year for shellfish, peanuts, and honey so that's what he recommends. We had already decided on that but it was nice to hear it from him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-796083 Mon, 20 May 2013 15:07:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 796083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are planning to give LO peanut butter before her 1 year checkup. </p> <p>She's had fish before a few times, but I don't think she has had any shellfish yet.</p> <p>ETA: she has had dishes with peanuts and other nuts in them/in a sauce (like Kung Pao chicken, chicken with almonds, etc.) but has not had straight up nuts by themselves, or peanut butter yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-796070 Mon, 20 May 2013 15:01:53 +0000 mrsjazz 796070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO hasn't had any nuts or shellfish yet. We don't really eat shellfish even though I love it, but DH has a sensitivity to it (he gets migraines from shellfish). We will probably let her try peanut butter soon, but nothing else really. I get so afraid because my mom is allergic to all nuts except for peanuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-796044 Mon, 20 May 2013 14:55:01 +0000 regberadaisy 796044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her ped cleared peanut butter at her 1 year so I don't have issues giving her nut products anymore. But straight up hard nuts I think I'm going to wait just because I'm not sure she can chew it yet?</p> <p>She had a little taste of shrimp probably 2 months back? But nothing in large capacity. We eat a lot of shellfish in the summer so I'm sure she'll get to try it soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nuts-and-shellfish#post-796033 Mon, 20 May 2013 14:52:49 +0000 mediagirl 796033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you offer your lo shellfish and nuts for the first time?</p> <p>M hasn't had either yet and she is 11 months old. We just don't eat nuts or shellfish all that often so I haven't had a chance to offer them. </p>
