We had our 4 month apt yesterday. The pediatrician said we should start giving her tastes of peanut butter and egg to avoid developing allergies. (we have no family history of food allergies and she is exclusively breast fed) Has anyone else done this? Any advice for introducing these foods to a 4 month old? Any brands of peanut butter better than others?
Re: allergies
this had just came up on the app for me yesterday. another thing to take note on, is that until around 6(ish) months old, baby has a tongue reflex that will actually push food out of their mouths. And as for the peanut butter thing, wtf? I would think baby would have quite a hard time eating it given its sticky consistency. Think of the consistency of baby food, and the texture of what your pedi is recommending. I'd be thinking about getting a second opinion!
