Hi everyone,
I am a new mother and I am a bit concerned about introducing my baby to allergenic foods. I want to make sure that I am doing everything correctly to avoid any potential allergic reactions. I am unsure about which foods are considered allergenic and when it's safe to introduce them to my baby's diet. Can someone provide some guidance on this topic? Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone,
As a mother of three, I can definitely relate to the concerns about introducing allergenic foods to a baby's diet. With my first two children, I followed the traditional approach of waiting to introduce allergenic foods until they were older. However, with my third child, I decided to follow the more recent recommendations of introducing allergenic foods early and often.
I began introducing small amounts of allergenic foods like peanut butter and eggs to my baby at around 4-6 months old. I also made sure to introduce one new food at a time and wait a few days to watch for any signs of an allergic reaction.
In my experience, it was a successful approach, and my third child did not have any issues with the early introduction of these foods. However, I understand that every baby is different, and it's always important to consult with your pediatrician before making any dietary changes.
Overall, it's important to find an approach that works best for you, your baby, and your family. Good luck!
