My husband's Aunt is an RN and used to teach CPR courses. She will not give a toddler PB because of allergies and because it is a very hard (if not impossible) substance to clear from the throat if they are choking because it is so sticky. As a result, our DS still has not had PB and he is 2.5 years old. He will have plenty of time to eat PB when he is a little older. He eats a wide variety of food that most 2 year olds won't eat and gets plenty of protein from other sources so I don't see the need to take the chance of him choking. He has had peanuts in other items so I'm not concerned with him having allergies.
