How and when did you introduce peanut products or shell fish?

    Shellfish - I made crab cakes the other night and he loved them.

    Peanut products - waiting until he's 3 per pedi's rec.

    Haven't done either.  Will ask at A's 2-year well visit in August.

    But my ped was OK with shellfish / tree nuts after 18 months.  Peanuts they said age 3... but I'll prob. try when my SIL is around (with her epi pen) at age 2.

    Introduced peanut butter right around 12 months (remember to spread it thinly as it can be a choking hazzard) and she loved it. We gave her shellfish around 15 months.  Our pedi suggested giving them at breakfast/lunch the first time so you have time to see if there will be a reaction and if so get it treated without it being a big deal.    Good luck - yummy!

    Our pedi says no nuts or peanut butter until 2.  Other than that, he was good for anything else at age 1.   I haven't given him shellfish yet, tho.  Just hasn't come up yet.

    DS has not had shellfish or PB yet.  He has eaten almonds, w/o side effects.  Our pedi is overly cautious, and said neither until 3.

    Lurker here, just started lurking on this board -- I'm usually on SAIF.

    Giving the food early in the day is a good idea.  It is not unusual for a peanut allergy to present itself on a subsequent exposure though.  Lucas had peanut butter a handful of times before he had his reaction.  With that in mind, I would give PB early in the day for the first 10 times, meaning I wouldn't give PB at dinner or as a PM snack.
