Such important information. We are currently introducing solids and allergen foods to bub. I’m waiting on our delivery from Nourishing Bubs intro to allergen pack to make this process a little easier to keep track of an to ensure we are providing all the main suspects to our baby. Hopefully it’s uneventful!!

Thanks for posting the link to ASCIA. I liked this article, really helpful advice and the ASCIA website does too.

A friend of mine was allergic to one particular vegetable as a baby and always vommited even if he only had a teaspoon of it after he had been on solids for a few weeks.

Thank you for sharing this. It is something I do worry about all the time.

we are going through this at the moment… not great

introducing the foods slowly and using the recommended guidelines for ages to try foods.

The biggest problem with allergies is others not taking them seriously. Our family has a few allergies and we were aware of them and introducing new foods in controlled ways. At a friends place she was given food by another child (from kids food container so out of my and my friends control). Luckily no reaction! Allergies are not intolerances, and many people don’t understand the difference. Education and respect are so important on this topic.

We had never experienced allergies in our family, but when our son had his first taste of peanut butter, he developed a rash around his lips and minor swelling. We did not introduce peanut butter again for quite a while, but we did monitor it over time. My son has no issues or allergies to peanuts. We tried similarly with egg and tried it over time to ensure he was okay with it.

Really lucky my kids don’t have allergies like in my family only my eldest gets hives from Tom tams and lollies

Thanks for the article very good information..

Thank you for the helpful tips.

Thankfully our daughter doesn’t have food allergies

It’s good we know information on allergies and babies, really interesting.

So blessed my daughter has no known allergies. My heart goes out to those who have this unfortunate challenge.

  It can be a challenge and you have to be so vigilant.

GREAT ARTICLE Karen thanks for the info.

Food allergies are awful and protocols and management plans need to be in place for kids.

Luckily we don’t have any allergy in my home. I can imagine how important it is to diagnose them as soon as possible. A very informative article!

No allergies with my kids, a touch of hay fever and that was it. It’s scarey that schools have to van sone foods to keep some kids safe. I wouldn’t want to be their parent :/

Great article. thanks for sharing this information, very useful.
