I forget the exact numbers but it was amazingly high). The catch was, he got that bloodwork due to a different allergy, and he had been a huge peanut butter eater since 6 months of age. The bloodwork was done around 12mo of age by his pediatrician. The advice of his allergist was 1) bloodwork for allergies in babies isn't very helpful, but 2) continue to feed him peanut butter or peanuts EVERY DAY until at least age 5 or 6, because he was high risk for developing an in vivo anaphylactic peanut allergy if his constant exposures were stopped.

So I packed him a PB sandwich for lunch and/or trail mix with peanuts every day, even if we were eating a picnic in the park instead of at home.

I obviously never let him share food or anything but I wasn't going to put my own child at risk by not feeding him peanut product as his allergist directed. So if some caregiver I didn't even know asked me to please stop feeding my kid a PB sandwich at the park because she also liked to use the park every day, I'd give her the side eye.

I'd also of course make sure to keep our food away from her child and I'd wipe my child's hands really well after his snack, because I don't want to hurt anyone, and I'd never let him eat food on the actual equipment regardless- we always ate on the benches outside of the play area- but no, I'm not changing my kid's daily lunch either, because I'm in charge of my kid's safety which includes giving him peanut, and you're in charge of your kid's safety which means avoiding peanut, and we both live in this world.

You win the prize for the most ridiculous post. Your child's safety does not depend on serving them peanut butter at lunch vs. breakfast, dinner or snack.

Also trail mix with peanuts is a huge safety hazard for a kid the age that OP is talking about.

Now we can't bring small sized foods in public either, in case someone else's young toddler is in the same vicinity and might take our food from us and choke on it?

PP said they brought it for their own child, who isn't immune to choking.

I have wipes if you need them.” Unless my kid had restructured eating, I wouldn’t bring that snack any more after that.
