If you're testing for a peanut allergy by putting peanut butter on your baby's skin, then feeding them. Actually... please don't do this. Let's talk. Because peanut butter on the skin can't tell us if your baby can safely eat peanut foods. Myth. Because skin contact with peanuts doesn't build tolerance. Skin contact with peanuts doesn't build tolerance. Eat. Eating. Tolerance is only built from eating peanut containing foods. And that's important. Because introducing peanut foods early and often may help reduce the risk of developing a peanut allergy. Experts tell us that the best time to introduce peanut foods is around 4 to 6 months. And then continue to offer 2 grams of baby-safe peanut containing foods at least 2-3 times per week. Don't delay. Ask Your Pediatrician. You could then peanut butter with breast milk, formula or water. Mix it into applesauce or oatmeal or offer age-appropriate peanut puffs. Feed it. Don't face test it. Because if we're trying to help prevent peanut allergy, then the goal shouldn't be getting peanut butter on the skin. The goal should be helping get peanut foods into the tummy.
