i waited until my son was a year. i was in the military until he was about 15 months, and his dr always said after 1 year. he didnt actually get it until 17 or 18 months when my parents gave it to him, and then i just watched him for a couple hours to make sure he wasnt allergic.

I've gotten mixed reviews on this subject myself. I've been told 1 years, 2 years and 3 years since having my son 10 months ago. To be certain I would check with your childs doctor. Good luck!

Both of my girls had peanut butter at about nine months. That's when they both began feeding themselves.

We just gave our son peanut butter, just a little at a time, we only gave him about a tablespoon then waited a few hours to see what happened??
