DS has had a bunch of allergenic foods so far with no reaction (knock on wood!) We have yet to do peanut butter (and aren't dying to try it anytime soon) and any sort of seafood....
When did you intro seafood? Fish and also shellfish? I know the latter is more allergenic....

We introduced them just shy of a year when my MIL gave DD bouillabaisse. Luckily, there wasn't any issue.

DD had fish (we started with salmon) around eight months, shrimp around nine, and then tried mussels and clams around ten.
I'm not particularly cautious with food allergies. If she has them I want to know yesterday so I can be prepared.

I think we gave her shrimp at Christmas- so she would have been about 8 months old? We weren't waiting for anything specific, though. We give her fish all the time.

@oliviaoblivia: I agree. There's no real reason to wait- and when they are older it seems like it would be harder to tell what the reaction was to since they are eating all kinds of things.

@oliviaoblivia: I'm generally the same. We threw eggs at him (figuratively) early along with dairy. My mom has a shellfsih allergy, but only the poopy kind.... yep.
Fish is such a great, and soft, protein, I'm eager to start him on it! If only my morning sickness would get on board to prepare it...

We just tried fish over the weekend. I want to try shell fish the next time we have it.

@knittylady: we make fish tacos a lot and she loves them. or I put salmon in pesto with pasta, and she's a big fan of that, too.

@knittylady: haha! we did the same thing eggs were her third food.
She was just starting solids last summer and I gave her strawberries really early because I didn't want her first strawberries to be one of the tasteless ones you can get in the winter.

He had bits of salmon at 9 months, tilapia fish cakes at 11 months and crab meat and shrimp sometime after a year...maybe 15 months? I just don't like seafood it's not generally on the dinner rotation.
