My LO been having normal chunky peanut butter from about 9 months. There is no peanut allergy in the family though, but it was the only way they'd eat toast!

My little one is 18 months and has been eating smooth peanut butter for a good few months now. I love peanut butter myself, craved it in pregnancy also. I like the crunchy one but now we share the smooth. Yep just give her some and just keep an eye out incease there is a reaction anyway. Aleesha loves peanut butter! she also dips breadsticks in it.

Also have you tried houmous, that goes down quite well with a breadstick.

no thats a good idear cos my LO loves bread sticks and dipping thinks hehe

Harvey loves peanut butter. I stick with the smooth as I'm still paranoid he'd choke on the crunchy stuff.

My LO ot her first 2 teeth at 7.5 months, next 2 at nearly 9 months and number 5 at 10 months. She only just got number 6. She now has 4 top front and 2 bottom front. She has eaten normal solid foods from day dot. She has chunky peanut butter - it requires minimal chewing (no more than the bread). If you prefer smooth, it's fine though. And 17 months definitely not too early.
