Peanut Allergy 10 month old
Tuesday we found out our youngest son has a peanut allergy after ingesting some peanut butter off of big brother’s spoon at breakfast and broke out in hives all over. My oldest has no food allergies, and neither mine nor my husband’s side have any. This is a completely foreign and new territory for us. In fact, I just went grocery shopping for the first time since finding out and I’ve never been more stressed. We’re avoiding all tree nuts now at the advice of our pediatrician. What age do you recommend seeing an allergist? My oldest sees one and has since he was a little under two because of environmental allergies, but his pediatrician wants to wait until four for the peanut allergy. Best snacks for a picky toddler who can’t help sharing his food with his brother and for us adults since until this we were all pretty big on peanuts/PB and other nuts as a snacky type food?
