What age did you introduce allergens?

Question

Peanut butter, eggs, shellfish, dairy, etc? I’ve made a few other posts about food and stuff (my son is 10 months old) and we haven’t introduced any allergens yet, I’m nervous!

Answer

6 months. The only thing we didn’t give was honey.

Answer

The earlier you introduce the food, the less likely they are to have allergies.
We have our daughter all of those at 6 months.

Answer

Before 12 months 
I have attached a link to allergy Australia website about this and my sons letter I got from the allergy specialist appt the other day at Queensland Children’s Hosiral as he has idiopathic anaphylaxis (no one knows what causes his anaphylaxis- he’s 13) the letter is about introducing foods after a reaction but if you’re nervous about a reaction which is unlikely at 10 months old as I was told by specialist on Friday just gone may be a good way to ease your mind as you trial it. 
Hope this helps :)

Answer

Basically. Right away. Didn't wait.

Answer

The sooner the better, I introduced all my 3 kids before they were one. I would introduce something new every few days after they were 6 months. That’s what they recommended at the doctors in case of allergies so we know what cause a reaction. I ate everything while pregnant so my kids aren’t allergic to anything except grass and all types of trees lol

Answer

6 months I started with some peanut butter mixed in oatmeal, then I did eggs

Answer

We started at 7 months , baby is 11 months now and we’ve done all major food allergens multiple times and branched out to less common ones now. The recommendation is the earlier the better

Answer

6 months for eggs, dairy, fish, foods including gluten. I never gave him nuts before he was 2 (he was not interested and I didn’t try to mix them with food) for example and now he’s allergic to them. I will never know if this is because I waited so long or he’d have an allergic reaction anyway. But I still think I should have tried harder when he was 6-9 months old

Answer

Between 6-9 months. Except for milk/dairy because my son had a cow's milk protein allergy and couldn't have it until after a year and even then I had to do it very slowly because he was still mildly reacting to it until he was 2.
