Can I give peanuts to my 2-year old?

Pediatricians do not recommend babies to have nuts between 24 and 36 months if they have a family history of allergies or if the kid has food allergy. And in some cases, the age to have nuts may go up to even 7 years in the allergic babies. Otherwise, kids after 12 months can be introduced to nuts. And I happen to read that peanuts are not even nuts, they are legumes (grow on the ground not on the tree), and they are the ones who are blamed the most for causing allergies in kids. So, if your family has a history of allergies, do not introduce him to peanuts. Consult a doctor. http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/when-can-baby-have-nuts.htm
