What are the chances of my 22 month old son getting a food allergy to peanut butter? is it safe to give him peanut butter?

Peanut butter.: In the us 0.6% of adults & 1.4% of children have peanut allergies. I can't tell you if your child will have a peanut allergy. Peanut butter can be introduced when the child eats solid foods. Start with small spoonful. Don't give whole peanuts to children who are younger than 3 years old because it is a choking hazard. Take care.

Peanut allergy: The prevalence of peanut allergy varies worldwide, but it's more common in the us, canada, uk, & australia: 1-2%. Risk factors include family history of atopic skin diseases (like eczema) and peanut allergy. Without these factors, risk remains low. Peanut butter can be nutritious if you avoid types that contain more sugar & additives. Some other considerations: http://tinyurl.Com/kz7q6k7.
