My kids at everything by the time they were 14 months old. MIL is old school and would feed them during they day. I would worry more of a choke hazard but if you spread it thinly and put more jelly for extra wetness I don't see a problem. We (Dh and I) at PB as babies and we are around to talk about. However, you have to do whatever you are comfortable with. I really do not think there are any hard fast rules. My kids loved fish sticks and by two they were eating shrimp. The only think I held out on were pork and pork products until they were 2 years old. After that, whatever we had on our plates they were able to try if so inclined.
I am sure none of us are going to hand our kids a tub of PB and have them go at it. lol But there is nothing wrong with spreading a thin layer on a slice of whole wheat bread with some preserves or jelly.
When my kids got a little older they were into dipping and loved dipping apples in PB. We make our own PB so we have control over the consistancy.
I am so glad my kids have been exposed to so many different foods early on. You would be suprised at some of the stuff they would request when they were old enough to verbalize what they wanted.
