At Jordan's six month appointment, the pediatrician said to start exposing her to peanut butter and eggs to prevent possible allergies. Has this been recommended to anyone else? If you have done so, how do you give PB to them? I'm worried about its consistency.
Re: Peanut Butter
There is a powdered peanut butter out there called PB2. They sell it in Walmart etc. My LO isn't ready for solids yet but I have personally used it. I mix it with protein shake powders for myself sometimes or put it in smoothies. Just thought I'd mention it
With the recent studies note that the AAP hasn't formally recommended introducing peanut products early. My pediatrician said their advice still follows aap but if there is no peanut allergy in the family then it's probably ok to introduce early. I'd talk to your doctor again if you want to introduce peanuts and see if they can refer you to a specialist. You can then introduce in a controlled environment.
