When did you first introduce peanut butter?

The pediatrician gave us the ok to start solids at 4 months. We started at 5 months. We started peanut butter at 5.5 months. Her second time having it, she got a little blotchy on her face. Happier than anything- no other reaction anywhere on her body. I called the pediatrician to see if they wanted me to continue or stop and I was met with “stop. You’re supposed to start them at 6 months with peanut butter.”

I didn’t think 2 weeks made that big a difference. Baby is totally fine… we think the blotches came from face wipes and wiping too hard. I’d like to continue to give her the right dosage of peanut butter and water (2tsp:3tsp) for “exposure therapy” since she is not anaphylactic. We pre-measure the Zyrtec dosage should we need it quickly. We’ve tossed it both times.

When did you start your LO in peanut butter and how did it go? Would you continue exposure or stop?
