Haha. That just reminded me of a cute story. This baby is my first to be "allowed" to eat rice. It sticks to everything and is a nightmare to clean up so I waited until my other two were older to feed it to them. When they were maybe 5 & 6 I took them for Chinese food and when they were offered rice my youngest said he couldn't eat because he thought he was allergic to it. Poor kid.

My Ds grabbed a handful of rice off my mom's plate over the weekend and shoved it in his mouth...it got EVERYWHERE!

I asked this question on the breastfeeding post, but I'll ask here too. Who has introduced peanut butter and how did you offer it? I'm thinking of smearing it on toast.

that is exactly how I offered it last week. DD loved it.

I'm a little hesitant to as her dad is allergic to nuts. Doctors say allergies aren't inherited but then I've been told to be cautious because of her dad's allergies. Weird. I'm going to try her with it very soon though. While sitting in the parking lot of emergency. Haha just kidding!! Kinda.

stephanie, my mom had an egg allergy as a child (apparently you can grow out of it?) so my pedi recommended waiting until DS is a year to try it and even then, only giving him just a taste and then watching him for four days.
I don't think I'm going to wait a year because of the new rec's, but I'm definitely waiting until 9 months.

I understand your hesitation. I have heard of people doing a touch test first and wiping some on the skin. The theory is if they don't react to the skin test they are less likely to have a serious reaction to an oral test.

Oh wow! That's perfect! Her dad has an anphalactic reaction to fish so this'll be a great way to test out both. Thank you

I am not saying its perfect or if the there is science behind it, but it makes a lot of sense and may give you a little piece of mind. Food allergies are honestly quite rare can be so scary
eta rare might be a poor choice of words, but the likelihood of any one person having them is quite small

Oh for sure it'll help ease my mind. I mean I'll probably still do it in the parking lot of emergency.
Full-of-sunshine Thai Curry (from the Ella's Kitchen Cookbook)
vegetable oil 14 oz butternut squash, diced 1 large onion, diced 1 carrot, sliced 1 red pepper, sliced 3.5 oz sugar snap peas 3 cm ginger root, grated 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp mild chili powder 14 fl oz can coconut milk 1 vegetable stock cube, crumbled handful of cilantro, finely chopped lime wedges to serve (optional)
Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the squash, carrot, and onion for 5 minutes until onion is soft. Add the pepper, peas, garlic, ginger, and spices and fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the coconut milk and crumbled stock cube, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the cilantro.
Serve with rice and lime wedges.

I didn't use the chili powder or the stock cube and substituted sweet potato for carrot and snow peas for sugar snaps (just based on what I had on hand). I also diced everything so that G could just grab and go. It ends up being a bit bland for adult palates, but adding your own sauce and the other two spice things would probably fix that.
G liked it and I found it easy enough to make. I would also use this as a veggie base for a chicken stir fry without hesitation and as G gets older, we'll probably do just that.
pitdigger That sounds delicious! But isn't vegetable stock cubes full of salt? Maybe there are different kinds?
kaydee0402 I've given peanutbutter in oatmeal and mixed with chicken and rice. DD loves it so I'll probably smear it on a piece of bread next.
There probably are different kinds, but I omitted the cube because of that. I took a couple liberties because it seemed a little more toddler friendly than baby friendly (hence dicing everything).

Reread your post and realized you said to omitt the stock. Reading comprehension fail

I have found baby stock cubes. For babies, not baby flavored.

Mmm. Delicious babies. That's actually pretty cool. I'll keep an eye out for them.

Mini cucumbers cut into forth are a big hit and DH only had 2 minor heart attacks. Had to fish out cucumber skin a few times from DS's mouth, but we're making progress with finger food.
