The Dr. had suggested we be at or near a hospital when we tried Rylee on peanut butter since there was sort of a family history of peanut allergies (all Rylee's cousins have anaphylactic shock level allergies to nuts among other things). Since our families have not had the best experiences with emergency rooms in FL, I opted to wait until we got to MN.
So today, Rylee hung out at the hospital with some family friends (a nutritionist and the director of nursing - it helps to know people!) and ate some peanut butter dipped pretzels and nutter butters . She didn't seem to have any issues other than peanut butter stuck to the roof of her mouth.
She loved the nutter butters, but passed on having one of her chocolate bars dipped in peanut butter. Say what? If she has her dad's aversion to the chocolate and peanut butter combo it will really annoy me.
I'm quite excited to try her on some other peanut buttery delicacies and to only have the milk issue to deal with. One thing to check labels for is enough. :)

I didn't know Rylee hadn't had PB yet. That's a long time to not know the pleasures of PB and J!
We waited to introduce peanut butter for a time where we knew we could run to the ER if needed but we also knew Miller had had many treats with peanut ingredients long before his first real "spoon full." Those darn doctors want us to think every kid is going to swell up and choke upon their first peanut. Glad she's not allergic!
We still haven't "officially" tried peanut butter yet, but like Erin we know she's had things with the ingredients...but we are paranoid anyway. Although maybe it is just me - Morgan doesn't like peanut butter anyway so he's in no hurry!
SO happy to hear it went well for Rylee!
