What was he eating/what did she say?
(I’m not asking what he ate to gauge if there was good reason for her to shame as it’s never ok.. just curious because it says a lot about her)

Health Visitors actually now recommend trying babies with peanut butter before they’re 6 months old! There’s new research into peanut allergies that suggests they’re more likely to develop an allergy if they haven’t been exposed to it before 6 months. Especially if they also suffer from eczema.Regarding her testing for allergens( ie peanut butter) on stories today - as a HCP you'd think she'd know that to develop an allergy you need to be exposed to the potential allergen on more than 1 occasion...therefore his first taste of peanut butter will not prove an allergic response- it will be the second exposure
Sorry that’s totally random but I found it fascinating when my hv told me about it when I started weaning my little girl last year. My husband is allergic to peanuts so I was going to avoid them all together.
