The only one I worried about was peanuts, which we gave at the pedis at his 9 month appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252710 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:06:09 +0000 heartonastring 1252710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told that rule is outdated...UNLESS you have a family history of food allergies. We do not, so we don't observe this rule at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252654 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:35:54 +0000 MrsRoo 1252654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have no food allergies on either side of the family, so we don't wait. I usually stick to one new food a day, though. I did wait a few days after strawberries since they seem to be a common allergen, and may wait after a few other foods like nuts, eggs, etc... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252634 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:28:06 +0000 travelgirl1 1252634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always did three days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252621 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:18:16 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1252621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't space out foods. For potential allergens, we only let him have one at a time until we knew he was okay, but otherwise we just jumped in. Neither of us have food allergies in our family at all though, so that was a big consideration for us. LL is 9 months and has literally had everything (and loves everything!) except honey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252360 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 18:01:57 +0000 Ree723 1252360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't. The first foods we started her on were mixed purée pouches that usually had three or four fruits and veggies mixed in. We gave her a different one every day and had no issues. In her first week of eating solids she had maybe 10 or 12 different fruits and veggies. </p> <p>We started solids in the UK and all the stage 1 pouches were mixes - we had no problem with it (really, who is allergic to broccoli, carrots, or pears?!) and neither did our GP. The only thing we had to avoid was honey for the first year because of the botulism risk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252344 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:41:40 +0000 jessibear 1252344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: our ped had the same advice. Almost 10 months and no issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252297 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:41:19 +0000 KT326 1252297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our ped said that since we didn't have any known food allergies on either side of our family there was no need to wait 3 days to introduce new foods, ust don't feed him peanut butter and shellfish in the same day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252249 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:44:38 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1252249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did 3 days from 6-8 months and then started feeding him off my plate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252248 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:42:58 +0000 Ra 1252248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252242 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:39:04 +0000 cmomma17 1252242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the beginning, 3 days.</p> <p>After about a month I relaxed and now do 1-2 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252235 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:33:33 +0000 Smurfette 1252235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we first started it was 2-3 days. Now I just do whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252223 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 15:14:46 +0000 Greentea 1252223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are about to start and I plan to do 3 days. I am excited! We are doing blw. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252201 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:49:36 +0000 ALV91711 1252201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we first started I would do 2-3 days between new foods. Now at 8 months I just don't try more than one new thing in a day. I don't do something new every day, I just don't wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252200 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:49:35 +0000 anbanan15 1252200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we were told at least 4 days before we started solids, but we had to do at least 14 days (up to 30 days for some!) and then 7 later on due to food allergies (FPIES). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introducing-foods-how-many-days-between-each-food#post-1252193 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:43:42 +0000 swedishfish 1252193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced sweet potato purée on Thanksgiving so it's been 3 days. How many days in a row did you offer the same food before switching? I've read different opinions ranging from 3 days to a week.</p> <p>Multiple votes enabled for multiple LOs! </p>
