Do you introduce one single food item at a time to your baby? To test for allergies

Question

It seems kind of hard to do this for everything?

Answer

I did yes. Why is it hard? For me it was pretty simple. Introduce one fruit or vegetable per week and then move onto other things like meat, nutbutters, eggs, bread, etc. Once everything is introduced, then you can serve things together.

Answer

Not for everything, but for the big allergies I did.
Peanut butter, eggs, almonds, and dairy.

Answer

Nope

Answer

No we did BLW for both. They ate whatever we were eating.

Answer

No it’s not necessary and not even studied.

Answer

Yes, best this way so you can prepare the immunity, and also maybe identify which foods baby dislike, and may be allergic to

Answer

I do allergens by themselves because I have pretty severe food allergies, so things like eggs, shellfish, nuts, strawberries, etc! But not much else. I do it so I know what the allergy is, if there is one!

Answer

No, but I observe closely with peanut butter, eggs, dairy, and shellfish because there is family history of allergies.

Answer

My son had his annual review at Queensland Children’s Hospital on Friday. He has idiopathic anaphylaxis. You can add one new potential allergen per meal. Attached below is his recommendation for reintroduced allergens after a reaction which if you’re doing for first time may help ease anxiety of doing so and if you read down in the allergy and anaphylaxis info after the Queensland children’s hospital recommended action it says you can introduce one allergen per meal time.

My son had his annual anaphylaxis review at Queensland Children’s Hospital the other day. You only introduce one allergen at each meal. I can attach some info here. One is his hospital letter about how to introduce after a reaction but if you’re worried about on maybe do so this way and the other link is about introducing potential allergen foods by allergy and anaphylaxis Australia.

Answer

I did with all of mine. Just one kind for a few days to make sure no reaction then added another. By then we knew the first one didn’t cause reaction so we could narrow it down if he did have one. My husband was allergic to a lot when he was a baby so it made sense for us to do it this way. Thankfully we never had any issues.
