When is it safe to introduce peanuts to my baby for the first time?

Current pediatric guidance says peanuts can be safely introduced between 4-6 months in babies without high allergy risk, once they've started solid foods. The old "wait until age 1" advice is outdated; early introduction actually seems to lower allergy risk.
Important: introduce peanuts in a form that won't cause choking. Never give whole peanuts, peanut butter straight up, or chunks. Instead, mix 1-2 teaspoons of smooth, unsweetened peanut butter into yogurt, breast milk, or a mashed fruit.
Try for the first time during the day, when your baby is healthy, and don't introduce another new food at the same time. Watch for 2-3 days for any rash, difficulty breathing, facial swelling, or vomiting. If your family has a history of eczema, allergies, or asthma, it's wise to have your pediatrician supervise the first try.
