How much peanut butter to introduce to baby?

Question

1/2 teaspoon, 1 teaspoon, etc.? As well as eggs, milk, etc.? How much at a time to try at first to test for allergies?

Answer

Just thought I’d share our experience with peanut in case it helps someone. My babe consumed mayyyybe 1/2 tsp on his first exposure (mixed into oatmeal) and within ten minutes his face and neck were briiiight red.

I pulled him out of the high chair immediately, chucked him in the bath to clean him off because it appeared to be a contact reaction (we do BLW so he was self feeding and a hot mess) and my partner got our pediatrician up on telehealth. 
Babe had no respiratory symptoms at all and was not vomiting but we were given a dosage (by weight) of kids Benadryl to give him and it calmed quickly. We were advised not to give it again until he could get some allergy testing done. 
He has since had testing done and has a mild peanut allergy. We are in the process of micro dosing him under our allergists advisement (so cool, thank you, science!). We have an Auvi-Q epinephrine injector just in case but the doc doesn’t think we will need it. He’s up to 1/4 tsp a day with no reactions. 
All this to say, have some kids Benadryl on hand (to be taken only if your pedi recommends), take an infant CPR class so you have that little confidence boost, but don’t panic if babe has a reaction. Allergies can of course be extremely serious, but they don’t all end in an emergency room.

Answer

The study fed 9 grams of protein every second day.
You can calculate it based on the protein percentage on the jar.
We succeeded only with fatty yoghurt, peanut butter, sesame (tahini and oil) and white fish. Everything else was just impossible. I think the big flaw in the study was that they assumed babies will eat.

I had craved reese's my whole pregnancy and had put a bag in the hospital bag. I was breastfeeding my newborn while eating reese's  and looked at my partner who was laying in his hospital bed and said "oh crap! What if she's allergic?" Thankfully she's almost 2 and so far no allergies 🤦‍♀️😅 that being said we try a small bite of commen allergens with 911 on one phone and our EMT friend on the other.

Answer

For all the common allergens do one teaspoon every other day (3x). By the end of the third day if there are no reactions babe is likely not allergic. You can do this method with any new food. My daughter is allergic to eggs and this is how her allergist told us to introduce new foods. My daughter didn't have an allergic reaction until her second time eating eggs. And she didn't even eat anything it just touched her tongue

We started my son with a small snack that contained peanut butter . He is 1 of my 6 kids and has a different dad than the other 5, turned out he has a severe allergy to peanuts , I’d start with a tiny amount just to be safe .

Answer

We only did a little thinned with breast milk on a spoon. A couple spoonfuls to test it out.
