Maybe we just live a charmed life but me and my husband just never worried about it, nor did we either go out of our way to expose our kids to nuts or avoid them. We gave them little bites of whatever we were eating and later we started giving them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I mean peanut allergies are still very rare are they not? I dont think I know anyone personally who has a nut allergy, children or adults. None of my kids friends have nut allergies. Is this a regional thing?
