Baby-poll poll I`m curious, when did you first give your son/daughter peanut butter? I know the recommended age, so that`s not what I`m looking for. When did you first feel it was OK to try PB? Comments...

Around 10 months. New research shows that waiting increases their chance for a bad food allergy. Most doctors are NOT recommending waiting until a year anymore. The new guideline is as soon as they`re old enough to handle the texture (around 9 or 10 months), it`s okay to start.

I waited until my girl was 11 1/2 - 12 months old, and she absolutely loves it. But we won`t give her peanuts because of the choking hazard

when eatig other soft type foods, he was able to suck it off the roof of his mouth... My view was if he could get a plain cracker and not have a problem.. since as you know.. they can get mushy and stuff to the roof of your mouth... then I knew he would be able to get the pb too! Hope that helps! He was about 11 months!

I usually wait til after their first birthday. We don`t have any food allergies in our family so I figure it is safe then.

We just tried last weekend. He will be one year old on the 17th. We usually wait until they are a year old.

hey i didnt start giving my daughter peanut butter til after she was 13 months old. shes almost 14 months now, but i wasnt going to until i found out that she loves the flavor so i started giving it to her and she loves it. i just put in on really thin. they say well ive heard that the longer you wait the more prone the child could be to the allergies, dont count my word on it but day hasnt had any issues so its really what you feel confortable with and how you think your child will do!

  2. I`m interesed in getting an innotab for my kids. Are the extra downloads pricey? How is the product as a whole?
  3. Thought they were fixing the problem with the profiles? Mine is now starting to disappear and most of my friends profiles are gone. Is it getting fixed or what because its more than a joke at the moment. Maybe its the ads causing the problems because its the only thing that seems to stay when the profiles disappear.
  4. If you had a `favourable` cervix (started to dilate and soft) did a membrane sweep work for you?
  5. Should I buy my sister a Belly Bandit for her shower? She said that is what she wanted when I asked. I just have a hard time spending that much money on some thing she might niot like. Especially because it was me who put the dumb :) idea in her head!! I bought and used one for three out of my four and loved it...but is it for everyone? Or should I throw down the money to something more practical?
  6. Are your children exposed to two hours or less of TV per day? (This includes when your shows are on and they are awake and around at the same time in the same room)


  7. Just finished making a birthday cake for the first time from our baby girl for her daddys bday tomorrow :o)
  8. Extension of last Valentine question..I should clarify that we are having V-day dinner tomorrow alone but still just the fact that he bought our gifts at the same time at the same place bugs the s-it out of me. He knows I like plants and I`m pretty sure he went to a nice nursey and got me one but the fact is he told me he got his mom a small little plant. OMG I fee like I total b-tch but I feel like telling him I know what he probably got me and I do not want anything that you are giving your mom!! But then he wopuld know I snooped and saw where he went on our checking account.
  9. O.k I know this is a off the wall question..Is it weird and selfish of me to be annoyed that my husband has is giving his mom a Vanetine gift and card tonight when she comes over and wants to give me mine too today? I know I`m probably being sensitive and I feel bad that I made the comment `if you give me the same thing as your mom I`m gonna cry`. He said I should`nt ruin the surprise and I told him I was sorry but I just wanted our Valentines seperate because everything includes his family and it`s a day for lovers. Am I....
