Heidi,
I was giving peanut butter at 1 year old. She loved it and still eats it all the time. Peanuts and tree nuts can cause anaphylaxis with some susceptible children - usually occurring within two hours. Always check for a rash around the mouth or hives after starting any new food. In any case, I always mixed the peanut butter in a bowl with some unsweetened applesauce to thin it as I heard it could cause a choking problem if too thick.
