Exposure for Other Kids

Hello! My 1 year old has a peanut allergy and since we found out, we’ve removed anything and everything peanut from our home. We just recently met with an allergist who encouraged us to continue feeding our 3 year old (no food allergies) peanuts as her immune system is still developing and it’s possible for her to develop an allergy if she stops being exposed to it.

Can anyone provide tips of how they go about this safely? Today I just gave our 3 year old a spoonful of peanut butter with a designated spoon while our 1 year old was napping. Washed the spoon and my hands afterwards and isolated the spoon and peanut butter. I’d love a more convenient way of giving it to her multiple times a week if possible.
