We recommend starting solids when your baby is sitting upright, unsupported in a tripod position. This usually occurs at 5-6 months old.

How do I introduce common allergens? π₯ π³ π¦ π₯ πΎ π
β β β β β β β β β
We recommend introducing common allergen foods (nuts, eggs, dairy, wheat, sesame, soy, fish, and shellfish) as soon as babies start solids. This can help reduce the risk of future allergies! With any new foods, monitor for signs of an allergic reaction: rash/hives, swelling, wheezing, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, trouble swallowing, or excessive crying. With any concerns, please call our office or call 911 in an emergency.
