He has not been interested in any purees so when he shows an interest in something that is close to a baby food, I let him gnaw on it. This week: watermelon, honeydew, bagel, dinner roll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-949874 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 11:40:57 +0000 anbanan15 949874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! We are the only "more than 4".</p> <p>We were advised a minimum of 14 days, but in all honesty it's more like a few months between foods...between DS's FPIES and his aversions to some new foods (takes a few "interactions" before he will taste some of them) it takes awhile to introduce new ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-949827 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 11:19:21 +0000 pinkcupcake 949827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited 3 days in between new foods. Once she got older though (like 10-11 months) I stopped waiting unless it was something that I thought was at higher risk of rxn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-949779 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 10:58:32 +0000 sarac 949779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never waited. The times she had an obvious reaction were obvious to figure out. I just fed her food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-948736 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:25:37 +0000 winniebee 948736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 2 in the beginning around 7 months stopped waiting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-901226 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 12:05:45 +0000 kiddosc 901226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got impatient and neither of us have food allergies, so I was like @Bao </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-901117 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:21:01 +0000 anewme 901117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really waited. But I tried my best to let them try food during the day when I knew if they developed a reaction I could get a hold of the ped rather quickly. Luckily nothing has happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-901116 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:20:56 +0000 hilsy85 901116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the beginning I did 2 days...after doing solids for about a month and a half, I stopped waiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-901108 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:18:43 +0000 luckypenny 901108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never waited. We would try new things everyday sometimes a few days in between. She always just ate what we ate </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-901087 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:14:33 +0000 matador84 901087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I started purees, I always waited 3 days. After a couple months of purees, he had a wide variety with no reactions, once we introduced solids I waited a day or two before doing something new. Now, at 10 months we don't wait at all before trying new foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-901076 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 11:11:15 +0000 MaisyMay 901076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor is super conservative, so I just smile when he tells me to wait 5-7 days in between new foods. Instead, we give her new stuff as we can. She's never had any issues, and she loves to try stuff off of our plates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-900996 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:47:08 +0000 Bao 900996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first few foods we waited 2-3 days but then I gave up on that and just gave new foods whenever I wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-900986 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:45:21 +0000 MamaMoose 900986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wait 3 to 4 days between new foods but she is prone to allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-900978 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:43:49 +0000 2PeasinaPod 900978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been waiting 2-3 days. Just enough time to see if something pops up on him. So far, so good...and we are really getting into the stuff that may cause allergies.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-900974 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:42:36 +0000 boiledpnut 900974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wait the four days. There are a bunch of food allergies in our families, so we don't want to chance it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-900949 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:32:36 +0000 travelgirl1 900949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wait 2 to 3 days. If it's something simple like a fruit or veg it's more like 2. If it's something I'm more concerned about like egg, or for example today I gave her yoghurt and there is a strong family history of milk intolerance in my family, then I will definitely wait the full 3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-900914 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:23:34 +0000 MarieJ 900914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I introduced new foods daily. No allergic reactions yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-900900 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:20:00 +0000 katsupgirl 900900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm terrible because I don't really wait. An allergic reaction tends to be quick and she's not consistent with the pooping so if I was waiting for that it would be awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-900898 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:19:26 +0000 pl0508 900898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been doing 2 ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-how-long-did-you-wait-between-foods#post-900877 Tue, 02 Jul 2013 10:11:35 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 900877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know the "rule" is to wait four days before introducing a new food, but I'm reading a bunch of conflicting literature that basically says it doesn't matter. How long did you wait and why? </p>
