Allergies
Evidence suggests that the best way to prevent your baby from developing a food allergy is to introduce them to the foods most likely to cause an allergy. These are:
- cow's milk
- egg
- fish
- peanuts and other nuts
- sesame
- shellfish
- soy
- wheat
You should do this when your baby starts solid food.
If you have a family history of an allergy, you should introduce those foods one at a time, in small amounts.
If you are concerned, you may want to introduce these foods when someone else is with you.
