Introducing Allergens To Baby
Allergen introduction can feel intimidating, but a calm plan makes it easier to offer common allergens in safe, age-appropriate forms.
Common Allergens
Common allergens include peanut, egg, milk, wheat, soy, sesame, fish, shellfish, and tree nuts. Whole nuts and thick globs of nut butter are choking hazards, so serving form matters.
If baby has severe eczema, an existing allergy, or a complex medical history, ask your pediatrician or allergist before introducing allergens.
How To Introduce
Offer a tiny amount early in the day when you can observe baby. Use safe forms like thinned smooth peanut butter, well-cooked egg strips, yogurt, or fish flakes mixed into mash.
Once tolerated, keep allergens in the rotation regularly.
What To Track
Log the food, amount, time, symptoms, and whether baby had it again. Seek urgent medical help for breathing trouble, swelling, repetitive vomiting, or severe reactions.
