Eczema In Children Diet
When has your doctor allowed peanut butter in your child's diet?
My doctor has said no peanut butter until two years of age. We don't have any food allergies in the family, although my son does have eczema. But before my son was born, my pediatrician said the same thing for my daughter, who has no allergies or eczema. I've talked to other people who have heard different things from their doctors, so I guess what I'm looking for is a wide variety of answers and maybe a few sources for why there is such a wide range. When did you give your kids peanut butter? Do they have any allergies?
Your question made me do some reasearch. We were told to wait until after she was 1yo, but only for a choking hazard reason. My 3yo was 18m when she first had peanut butter (for other health reasons). My 15mo has had peanut butter already, no problems. Her doctor said it was fine.
However, I will give you these two sites I found that say they shouldn't have it until they're three years old because of a risk of allergy. http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/nutrition/peanut_butter_controversy.html - http://babyparenting.about.com/od/nutritionandfeeding/f/peanutbutter.htm
The 2nd one actually says that the American Academy of Pediatrics is the one that recommends the older age range.
Good luck!
