Family history of food allergies

My DH has LOTS of allergies on his side - peanuts, shellfish, poultry, peas, bananas, melons....etc)  We have introduced everything but peanuts and shellfish to my 13 month LO.  I have been hearing a lot of variation on age of introduction.  Thoughts?

    i would probably wait until he's 2 or 3 y/o for peanuts and shellfish. But i don't know what the real requirement is.

    Did you BF? if you BF'd and ate shellfish/peanuts and your LO never showed any reactions via BM than it's possible you can introduce it sooner.  

    Maybe ask your pedi if you can introduce it in her office.  

    Do you have an allergist your DH goes to? maybe give him a call and ask for an opinion. 

    I'm sure introducing foods has made you feel so uneasy..

    good luck!
