My daughter was in the original study, back in 2012. It was very interesting, but a lot of work. She was randomised into the early introduction arm, so she had a whole load of allergens that she had to eat regularly. iirc, as well as peanuts it was egg, sesame, white fish, milk and wheat. There were several trips to London for lots of tests.
By the time my second daughter was born in 2014 they'd told us some of the preliminary results, so we followed the guidance even though she wasn't in the trial – no peanuts in the house so she couldn't get any on her skin until she was able to eat solids, and then peanut butter was her first solid food and we fed it to her throughout her infancy. I don't know if that's the cause, but she still eats it by the bucketload.
