Answer 1

jam=jelly...and babies shouldn't eat peanuts or peanut butter until they are over 3 years old in case they are allergic

Answer 2

jelly and jam are differant. jam is the actual fruit and spreads a little smoother onto bread where as jelly is artificial and a  little more chunkyer.

Answer 3

Jelly or Jam it's all good.  I personally think it can stand for both.  Creamy PB would be ok to give the kiddo if you know they have no allergies to it.  Crunchy would be to hard to digest unless they handle nuts already.  Start with a small bite and see if it is ok then go from there like with introducing any new foods =)

Answer 4

I think it is for jelly.  But I use jam all the time.  Just tastes better.

Answer 5

Yeah americans call our jam, jelly :)

Answer 6

Well its recommended that babies not have peanut butter until they are at least a year old because allergies are so common. But as long as their not allergic, as soon as they have teeth they can try it, although you may want to use creamy peanut butter just in case and go a little light on it so she doesn't choke because its so sticky.
