Fingers crossed for no peanut allergy!

No one in either of our families has any food allergies so I wasn't too concerned though.

But no sensitivities so far and no family history of allergies.

We tried egg, but no peanut, strawberry yet..

We tried the bigger allergens- egg, dairy (yogurt), peanut (we just crumbled some up and added them to spinach), mango, strawberry, legumes, etc. No reactions. At about 7.5 months we just went for it. Its great to be able to just give her what I'm eating. I would maybe look up what allergen family the chick peas are a part of and try those individually? hilsy85 on "Table foods: when did you lighten up on intro-ing one food at a time?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/table-foods-when-did-you-lighten-up-on-intro-ing-one-food-at-a-time#post-1285221 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 19:18:39 +0000 hilsy85 1285221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I stopped worrying about 1 food at a time around 8/9 months. At that point we had done eggs, meats, most fruits and veggies, and beans, and had no reactions. LO was also getting more interested in table food. However, if he had a reaction to something, like your LO to chickpeas, I might try out foods in that family one at a time, just in case.

Dairy, eggs etc and then once I was satisfied that he had no problem with those I started just feeding what we ate for dinner. We have a lot of similar foods in different forms, but if we were having something very different I might try to keep out a bit while cooking to feed as a "new food item".

They've eaten a variety of baby food, both individual foods and mixes. They've also had some finger foods like mum mums, little bites of chicken, etc. I have primarily stuck to only introducing one new food at a time, though. F has had no problems at all, and E has had mild reactions (ed skin and a rash) from lentils and chickpeas. The idea of just giving them some of what we're having makes me a little apprehensive because their could be several new things. How did you transition to more table foods? When did you relax and not worry about introducing one food at a time?
