I stuck to every three days, it is a good idea!

We didn't ever do 1 food at a time. Well and she had zero eating problems til 9 months when she developed a corn allergy/sensitivity. She could eat it befote so I don't know what happened there.

I did it at first, like the first 4-5 foods. I did pay better attention when introducing things that were more allergy prone (berries, shellfish, egg) to introduce it separately so that I would know if she had a reaction to those specific things. And I waited til after a year for both kiddos to do anything with nuts in it!

I do stick to it but mostly because 1) it's easy since we only give her produce mostly so far (she is MSPI so all the added ingredients and hidden soy of "normal" food is a problem) and 2) we've also discovered she has allergies or at least sensitivities to sweet potato and avocado, so we are on the lookout for other foods she has issues with.

In the first month or so, we took it slowly since we started a lil early (5.5 months) and wanted to make sure we paid attention to any digestion issues (if any) through monitoring his dirty diapers, etc.

After that first month or so, we readily introduced new foods weekly.

I didn't at all. If she was sensitive to a food, it was clear soon after she ate it. Her one true allergy (cherries) was immediately clear.

It would take FOREVER if you really introduced one food at a time. Unless there's a reason to think there will be a reaction (like previous issue or family history), it's not a big deal. Our doctor gave us a simple list of "what to look for" in case of a reaction.

The only exception for us was a high allergy food (like peanuts). We did that on fruit (that we knew she was okay with), and when she didn't have a reaction, we were confident she was able to process it.

We started w one food at a time, but our pediatrician actually told us to stop! Apparently new research suggests that's actually not necessary and it's actually better to expose babies to as much as possible as early as possible. He even suggested it's best to introduce potential allergens as early as we can -- egg, fish, nuts, etc. we do watch what lo eats in terms of not "real" foods and don't give her much if any salt or sugar

we did a mix of BLW and purees--never followed the three day rule. although i would have started doing it if LO had exhibited any allergies or digestive issues.

Same as some PP's. No family history of allergies and we did BLW, so excluding combination foods would have been really difficult. We just watched him closely the first time he had a new food, but definitely didn't isolate them.

We were told to do the three day rule because LO has a dairy allergy and there's a family history of multiple food allergies (me). I tried, but honestly there are so few things he can eat without his reflux flaring that I just needed to hurry up and find something that worked for him. So I just check him on a daily basis. Nothing scary, then we just move on.

I stuck with it for a week or two and then just gave him whatever. Around 9 months he started puking all the time and it took a while to figure out it was a wheat intolerance. So DS went gluten free for a while, but he did grow out of it.

Never - we jumped right in with combo purées at six months. No problems at all!

LO reacted to the first two foods we gave her so we stuck with single food introduction for a few months. She's had some reactions since she started eating our food & restaurant food and they are much harder to pinpoint.
