Peanuts and Kids

[Redhillmum]

At what age should I give my toddler (22 months) peanut butter?

Not before the age of 5 in order to minimise the chance of allergic reaction.

At whatever age you give your child peanuts, some parents choose to be near an accident and emergency department when they do - in the worst case (very rare), an allergic reaction can be fatal within minutes unless treated with epinephrine.
