Dr. K warned us not to give John peanut butter until he is self aware enough to state the following: My throat is swelling up. Yesterday, John had a little bit of Maureen's toast that had some peanut butter on it. Since nothing happened, we decided to give him a little toast with peanut butter this morning. All seemed fine until an hour or two later. John had this cough that came out of nowhere. He was rubbing his eyes and he had a giant mess in his diaper. All three of those are symptoms of a peanut butter allergy. Fortunately, the cough has gone away and John seems to be ok. Let this be a lesson to all. If a doctor says not to feed your child something, it's better to heed that warning and be spared a big scare.
