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?
-
We've been doing 2 !
-
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.
-
I introduced new foods daily. No allergic reactions yet!
-
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.
-
We wait the four days. There are a bunch of food allergies in our families, so we don't want to chance it.
-
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....
-
We wait 3 to 4 days between new foods but she is prone to allergies.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I never waited. We would try new things everyday sometimes a few days in between. She always just ate what we ate
-
In the beginning I did 2 days...after doing solids for about a month and a half, I stopped waiting.
-
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.
-
I got impatient and neither of us have food allergies, so I was like @Bao
-
Usually 2 in the beginning around 7 months stopped waiting
-
I never waited. The times she had an obvious reaction were obvious to figure out. I just fed her food.
-
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
-
Ha! We are the only "more than 4".
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.
-
I've moved to less than one. 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.
