How to introduce peanuts without fearing my baby will have a major allergy!

Question

I want to introduce peanuts to my 6 month old baby but my spouse has a little reaction, how do I proceed? No, he has a severe reaction to brazil nuts only, for peanuts only a little scratch in the throat.

Hello ma'am, by small reaction do you mean severe allergy? Could you be more precise? Thanks for the information! A parent's allergy will not necessarily be 'passed on' to the baby, although an allergy is still possible. It is suggested to start with very small amounts every 3 days. If there is no reaction or sign of a problem, you can gradually increase each time. I will be available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
