New guidelines released by the National Institute of Health say that giving your baby peanut butter may actually help prevent them from developing a peanut allergy.
Over the past 15-years, peanut allergies have quadrupled, but the new guidelines say early exposure be a way to prevent the potentially deadly allergy.
