The vaccine allows their bodies to develop an immunity to those illnesses. It turns out that the same thing can happen if you give your child peanut butter at an early age.

The National Institutes of Health are saying that it is okay to introduce peanut butter, in small doses, to your child. This could help lower the overall rate of peanut allergies! It is up to you if you want to allow your child to use peanut butter as body paint! LOL!
