Our ped. always said to wait until our son was 3 to give him peanuts, and that was fine (although it surprised a lot of our friends and family). We just felt it was better to be safe than sorry, especially not knowing if there was a history of food allergies in his birth family. Then we went for his 3-year well check-up, and the ped. said that the guidelines had been changed and we could just use our judgment! Of course, we made a big deal out our son's first peanut butter sandwich, and he told us he didn't like it and would rather have almond butter -- ha!
