Feeling like a bad mom

K

My son is 9 months old and is allergic to peanuts, nuts and wheat. When we first found out he was allergic to peanuts, our family doctor referred us to an allergist. He told us to hold off until we go there before introducing other allergen food. When we finally went to see the allergist, the allergist only tested for eggs, peanuts and nuts. She said she would not recommend testing for others as he has not had it yet. Therefore, the results may provide false positive.

He is 9 months old and I still havent introduced him to eggs and seafood because im scared. I feel like if I introduced it to him earlier perhaps he wouldnt have as many allergies. I feel like such a bad mom 😔
