Answer 1

My toddler loves her Skippy (smooth). The natural one is good of you want less sodium and sugar but it does get some oil separation. Stirring it will mix it back up though. I now just buy the regular Skippy. I have read that toddlers under 3 should not eat P.B. but I gave it to my daughter around 20 months. I didn't know about the rule until awhile later. Check for signs of trouble breathing or skin rash when he tries it.

Honey isn't banned because of allergy, it's banned because it can carry botulism. Anyway, we started my son on peanut butter at a year (if you really don't want to wait the extra month, there's always almond or cashew butter), but he had shown no signs of allergies to anything. If your child is already to a lot of foods or if you and your husband have food allergies, then I'd hold off, otherwise, don't stress out over a month... there's no magic numbers (although most U.S. pediatricians say a year). In retrospect, he had peanut oil and even kung pao (which has peanuts in the sauce) before a year - my son pretty much eats whatever we do just in smaller portions cut up well (a great way of making sure we eat healthier by not over salting or adding too much butter/oil). If you're going to try it, just do it first thing in the morning, so if there is an allergic reaction you'll be awake to watch and notice. (Who wants to be up all night?) Also, most allergic reactions to foods may not show up until the second or third exposure, so try it for three days in a row and if there's no reaction you're pretty safe.

I like the organic, natural peanut butter. I know Smuckers makes a good variety, and I'm using the Kirkland brand right now. It's a bit oily when you open it and you have to stir it up to incorporate it but it's fine after that. I like to use the natural kind because I don't want added sugar or high fructose corn syrup.

My daughter has also had issues with iron. Other ways to get iron into the diet are to cook iron-rich foods like spinach in a cast iron pan, and eat them with a vitamin-C rich food like tomatoes. Raisins have a lot of iron and so does black strap molasses (use it in cookies, breads, pancakes...). And I do have her on a chewable vitamin, perhaps you could talk to your doctor about that too.

Answer 4

Look for a smooth peanut butter that is just ground peanuts. Read the labels and avoid those with sugar, salt, and other additives. If your store's bulk section has a peanut grinder, try grinding some fresh.

Answer 5

if he is allergic to peanut butter, you can get 'fake peanut butter' that is not made from peantus but I dont' think that would be high in iron... you would have to check the label.

The best peanut butter is told by the ingredeints. You can get some where the ONLY ingredient is peanut butter! THat is the best one... no chemicals.

My 3 y.o. son (and my husband and I) eat Smart Balance. It is something of an acquired taste, as it has flaxseed added to it, but it's about the healthiest version of peanut butter out there. There are no refined sugars, and it's rich in Omega-3s.

As it turns out, my son took to it immediately - he'd never had peanut butter before. I took me a while to get over the idea that pb was sort of like candy and adjust to the nuttier, earthier taste.

Answer 7

Teddie peanut butter is the best overall healthy wise. Although I do not care for the taste. Maybe cause im used to regular peanutbutter. If your toddler is young and he doesnt know any different than he might like the Teddie.

most people are allergic to peanuts, its the over allergic reaction watch out for, give toddler small doses of smooth as crunchy will hurt their mouths and watch for reaction better sources of iron are leavy vegetables like spinach, you can have your infant tested for allergys,

Answer 10

I would get organic one, but it probably doesn't matter so much. Just give him a tiny bit at first and wait for couple of hours. If he doesn't get any reaction, give him more.
