I am waiting until 3 too. If you know anyone with a peanut allergy, it is such a pita. So much better to do anything you can to avoid it. I know of someone whose child died from their peanut allergy as a teenager because they did not have their epi handy. [ Reply | More

waiting until 3 actually increases the risk of your child developing an allergy because they are not exposed to nuts. [ Reply | More

actually, it is. The disproportionate rise in nut allergies is due to underexposure by overly-cautious parents determined to "save" their children from allergies they never even had [ Reply | More

I did not wait till 3 because I felt dc had a nut allergy. I waited because ped told me to. I don't see how this could have any effect on the rise in nut allergies. Just makes no sense to me. [ Reply | More

May be, may not. Some medical research suggests waiting increases chances of allergies, some medical research suggests waiting decreases chances. But we do know that some peanut allergies are outgrown -- and given how dangerous they can be -- why not wait? [ Reply | More

So are you saying it is better to find out if dc is allergic to peanuts at a younger age so they will outgrow the allergy at a younger age? [ Reply | More
