My dad attempted to give my 7 month old a PBJ andwich at Costco.
I gave my kid a PBJ sandwich at 7 months. I mean, it was cut up into small pieces (and the jelly was fancy whole foods, nothing added, blah blah blah jelly).... but what's the problem with that? I thought the new rules were that you didn't have to be scared of PB if you have no family history of allergy?
My pedi wants us to wait until 2. And I was not standing there or had any idea she was about to have peanut butter.
Well, if you really think the baby ate the pizza, then I guess you can go to bed knowing you win at parenting for today. Not really sure what else there is to do for poor pizza baby.

Choking is the problem with pb. Even small bites, it's the consistency. I will probably avoid it until close to a year for that reason.

Are you worried that the baby is just too young for the pizza and it might be dangerous? Or do you think it is judge worthy because you dont think pizza isnt healthy? IDK but lots of people feed their kids things like chicken nuggets and Mac & Cheese and I dont think pizza is worse than that. Everything in moderation.
No, it was more TIC, b/c Jenny was in the bathroom or something and her brother I think let Ella have some crab dip so Jenny was like "well I guess she's not allergic!"
I mean my kid showed the most interest in food I've ever seen when she got ahold of a choc chip cookie at the photo shoot sunday. For all I care, she can gnaw on some pizza if she's going to be interested in it. She doesn't actually consume that much.

Going behind your back like that isn't cool, but waiting until 2 years for peanut butter is an old-school recommendation.
I know I gave DS pizza crust starting around 6 months - and if we were eating pizza he would have gotten that for his meal as well. Does it help that I would have served a fruit and a veggie with it as well? In an average week, my son eats VERY healthy. There are isolated meals that would get me crucified on MMM though. I can live with that. (And for what it's worth, he was "chewing" steak and chicken before he had a single tooth - he was a menace with his back gums!!)
well according to the school lunch program pizza is a veggie, so you're good. If you add in fries and ketchup, then it will eb a vegetable paradise.
I let DD lick my ice cream at 3 months. MOTY? Also she has had pizza crust since 6 months. *Run and hide in a corner*
ha!
My baby's first "solid" was gumming on a snow cone at a fall festival farm thing when she was 4.5 months or so. Her first food other than breast milk or formula was literally high fructose corn syrup. LOL
it's a joke. Jenny had a recent post that she went out to lunch with her brother and kids and while she was in the bathroom her brotherlet the baby eat crab dip.

Ah okay. I was starting to feel judged for my crab-dip eating baby!! lolol

I agree. My H and my oldest child both have life threatening peanut allergies (among a variety of other very severe food allergies in H's case). The allergist DS1 sees is an MD/PhD and did post doc research on food allergies in kids. He told me to give DS3 PB, fish, shellfish, eggs, and any other potential allergens as soon as he was ready to eat them and that waiting to introduce them at best makes no difference and at worst may increase the likelihood of allergies. So my 7 mo (today--yay!) has had PB, fish, shellfish, and about everything else my H is allergic to.
My ped told us to wait until one for a bunch of stuff and until 2 for PB. Clearly, we are ignoring him, as I am certain our allergist is far more informed on this issue. When I mentioned to our ped that Dr. X said early introduction was better he was like "oh, really. I haven't really kept up on that. Well do whatever Dr. X says."

I'm the Mom that when I busted Grandma giving baby a lick of cake frosting thought it was cute and took a picture. No complaints from me.
My kid also eats all sorts of stuff. The best of which makes FB sometimes. I'm okay with it becuase I knew she ate well the other 19 meals that week.
And yes, at 6 months my kid could gum anything to death. She was over purees pretty fast so we had some modified/madeup BLW weaning going on.
I am tempted to feed DS3 pizza for lunch and post a video just to horrify you guys. I just can't see this as being a big deal at all. Family is having pizza? Great, give the baby pizza. We were at a steak house last Saturday for my dad's b-day, so DS3 had about a quarter of my filet. I am guessing that is judge-worthy, too? (And, no, he doesn't have any teeth...)
I can't even get my 2.5 year old to finish a damn piece of pizza. I tried last Friday. He ate about 3 bites and got distracted by the TRAINS TRAINS TRAINS at our friend's house.

Any time a ped has recommended waiting until 2 (for the people I know) it's been because it's a choking hazard, not because of allergies.
mushmouse -- The choking hazard issue makes sense. I wouldn't give a baby a half a PB sandwich or a handful of peanuts.
My brother's pediatrician had a child choke to death on peanutbutter when she was doing her residency and will forever say no pb before 2. I always wonder about the ages. I still haven't given my son popcorn and he was 3 in Aug. Whatever you do someone is going to judge you for being too lenient or too paranoid.

DS' first food was technically pulled pork. He was 5 months old, and was sitting on S.O.'s lap while S.O. was eating dinner. DS grabbed some of the pork off the sandwich and ate it.
He also ate peanut butter and shrimp at nine months (intentionally given to him by us).

And dominos sucks.
I hear you. I just recently started sending uncut grapes in my 6 yo's lunch box, and that was only after he asked me to and told me I was embarrassing him.
FTR, my kids get next to no PB, largely because we don't keep it in the house since two out of five members of the family could die upon exposure. Any PB they have had at young ages has just been a lick or two at my mom's house or baked into something. As a result, the choking risk posed by PB is not something I have had to worry or think much about.
