OT: peanut butter question

The pediatrician said you shouldn't give peanut butter until age 2. Awhile back, I accidentally gave Jake a peanut butter cracker but didn't realize it until after he ate it. I thought the recommendation to wait was based on possible allergies. Yesterday I gave him a pb&j sandwich for lunch for the first time. Just a thin spread and he was fine. I told DH when he got home from work and he disagrees with me that it is ok for him to have peanut butter before he is 2. He is 18 months. Do you know the reason why you are supposed to wait and is it bad that I gave it to him? I thought it would be fine since he had no reaction to the cracker. Pb&j sandwiches are just so convenient plus he likes them so......what do you think?
