I was so nervous about it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-690073 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 02:50:35 +0000 LaineysMom 690073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm.. I haven't decided on this one. I have a severe peanut allergy.. I can't even be in the same room as people eating peanuts because it makes it difficult for me to breath. I truly hope that DD isn't allergic.. :( </p> <p>I'll probably have DD allergy tested before I introduce it..</p> <p> Although she'll never be able to eat peanuts around me I have said that ill make her peanut butter sandwiches if she really likes them. I'll just use gloves and a mask (hopefully I won't need a mask). Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-687233 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 13:22:55 +0000 Freckles 687233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: Ahh, ok. My pediatrician told me at our 9 month appointment that the only thing he wants me to wait on was whole milk. He's with the "delaying it doesn't prevent allergies" school of thought. Luckily, LO didn't have a reaction! </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: My coworker's daughter gave her son peanut butter in the parking lot of the hospital's emergency room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-687223 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 13:18:49 +0000 pinkcupcake 687223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: I think it's the older school of thought that delaying allergenic foods = better. I've down my own research, though, and don't think I'll be waiting that long. I'll probably give it to her sometime soon, but I wanna wait until we're around the doctor's office, just in case :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-686189 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:03:59 +0000 emahlee 686189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO first had a taste of peanut butter at around 9 months. I inadvertently gave him almonds at around 7 months, not knowing pancakes I was eating were made with almond flour and almond butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685716 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 22:20:01 +0000 red_seattle 685716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think X had his first at 8 or 9 months. Not because we waited, we just never happened to give him any before then. The way it happened was kind of funny. I was holding a teething ring and a peanut granola bar and looked away, felt X chomp on something, figured it was the teething ring and kept doing what I was doing. Nope, I looked down and he had chomped into the granola bar. So he went straight to peanuts before even trying peanut butter. We let him have nuts first because I was worried about him being able to handle the stickiness of nut butters without choking. But he started on PB at 11 months or so. He LOVES LOVES LOVES PB and almond butter at 17 months. LOVES it and has since first bite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685675 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:43:57 +0000 yoursilverlining 685675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At our 9 month appointment our ped said we were cleared to feed LO everything, including peanut butter. Her only food allergy is pears, and even that hasn't been proven, just suspected. LO is almost 10 months and we have not given her pb yet. On one hand, I want to do it early to try to avoid allergies, on the other hand I'm nervous!! We will try it soon though, I think. For now, LO eats soy butter and jelly at daycare and is fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685664 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:34:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 685664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh, I should add that both my girls had peanut butter before age 1. The allergic daughter had it 30 minutes before our allergist appointment (just in case!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685657 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:25:27 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 685657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Mwah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685651 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:23:13 +0000 prettylizy 685651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: man, that's why I &lt;3 you!! Thank you!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685643 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:13:33 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 685643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: There have been several studies on early introduction of allergens, with new evidence saying introduce early. Let me pull some studies. BRB.</p> <p>Here's the most recent statement from the AAP: <a href="http://aapnews.aappublications.org/content/34/2/13.extract" rel="nofollow">http://aapnews.aappublications.org/content/34/2/13.extract</a></p> <p><a href="http://pediatrics.jwatch.org/cgi/content/full/2013/130/1" rel="nofollow">http://pediatrics.jwatch.org/cgi/content/full/2013/130/1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685637 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:09:08 +0000 Raindrop 685637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm allergic to peanut butter (mildy) and DS's doc said not to try it till he's at least 2 and even then he says to hold off more if we can. We don't have peanut butter in the house. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685635 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:07:39 +0000 prettylizy 685635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: that sounds excellent! Since we're not big peanut butter eaters, I don't think it'll matter what we have in the house. When I was eliminating things from my diet for her intolerances I just cut PB all together to be safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685632 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:04:51 +0000 anbanan15 685632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: What about sunflower seed butter instead? Tastes almost just like peanut butter, it is just as versatile, healthy, and there is a much smaller risk of allergies. My LO loves it! Eats it daily straight out of the jar and acts like it is gold! We are fans of the Once Again brand which is organic (they have both a no sugar/salt added and regular version) and has a lower risk of cross contamination or of making our own which is super easy to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685600 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:46:53 +0000 Freckles 685600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: LOL, i think you need to remove the sing-song out of her name for her to be paged. hehee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685596 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:43:53 +0000 prettylizy 685596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>*cough*cough* Oh @Mrs Jaaaaaaacks...... any awesome studies we should be reading? *bats eyelashes* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685584 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:37:41 +0000 Freckles 685584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: @artbee: Wow, what's the reason behind the age of 2?</p> <p>I gave mine a bit at 11 months, and she was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685569 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:29:55 +0000 Mrs. Bee 685569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie accidentally had some in a cookie maybe around 18 months?</p> <p>olive is almost 18 months and i plan to feed peanut butter to her just before her next doctor's appt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685514 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:04:29 +0000 yin 685514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 months. I was curious, and of course he is allergic to peanut butter. While I feel like a bad mom, I'm actually glad I gave it to him to see his reaction. It wasn't severe, but his mouth was itchy and red (same reaction he has to cow's milk). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-685487 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:50:07 +0000 T-Mom 685487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was around 13 months for DD. Her first 2 exposures were fine. Her 3rd exposure she broke out in hives around her mouth. She has a moderate peanut allergy. The pediatrician suggested we add a peanut test to DS's routine bloodwork when he was around 12 months, and he tested negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-684895 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:04:19 +0000 MamaBehr 684895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had her first taste at about 21 months. My doc said to wait until closer with 2 for my son. I don't think we will introduce it before 20 months or so, just because we don't eat that much of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-684882 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:01:08 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 684882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 13 months.

I think we will wait til maybe 14 months or longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-684846 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:53:15 +0000 autumnlove 684846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO accidentally ate a piece of a PB sandwich the day after her 1st bday and she was fine. We didn't offer it again until she was 14 months and it is now one of her favorite foods! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-684844 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:53:10 +0000 mrs. wagon 684844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was terrified we'd discover his first allergy so we didn't try until he was almost 3! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-684822 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:49:36 +0000 heffalump 684822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our doctor also said to wait until 2 for peanuts so we're waiting until then. I'm excited for that day.... I love peanut butter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-684815 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:47:30 +0000 pinkcupcake 684815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering this too. lo is 13 months and we haven't tried giving it to her yet but I would like to. Our ped is recommending that we wait till two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-684799 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:44:16 +0000 Honeybee 684799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited with DD until 14/15 months; we gave it to DS at 10.5 months. Both kids have been fine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/peanut-butter-1#post-684783 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:41:00 +0000 prettylizy 684783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spinning off from Hilsy85's thread, when did you introduce peanut butter? LO is almost 13 months and we haven't given it to her yet, (we're not huge peanutbutter eaters) but I think we should start.</p> <p>When did you start your LO on p-nut butter? </p>
