I think around 7-8 months.  Didn't even realize that the recommendation was to wait until after I had already given them to him multiple times!!

Canada just removed all recommendations for waiting on anything with regards to solids... apparently, delayed introduction has nothing to do with whether or not a LO will have an allergy.. they will or they won't regardless of age.

That said, strawberries can be acidic... I am waiting until about 8-10 months ;)

I think the waiting is suggested if there's a history of allergy with a certain food; otherwise, it's up to the parents and however the LO handles that particular food.

Apples (I've found out) are more acidic than tomatoes.  Go figure ::)

I found the same thing with apples!  They are recommended as a first food, right down to 4 months here in Canada... she was miserable after eating them!  She's fine now, but I still warm them for her or she gets a wicked tummy ache and a bad case of the toots ::)

Over here we are recommended to give berries from ~8 months. We haven't tried them yet as DS has reflux and I have heard they can cause flare ups

Same thing here in Canada... dairy and eggs included!  Crazy!

I am following the WholesomeBabyFood website's recommendations :)

I guess on the assumption we were eating a healthy diet yk? Definitely no restrictions on dairy, eggs etc, the first I heard of waiting to give LO certain things was when I came on here! Luckily DD1 has an iron stomach, nothing reacts with her!

LOL that is true, some LO can eat anything from the word go. Not mine :( Though he does like his tucker! Just steering clear of acidic stuff really.

LOL tucker = food/eating  ;) I would say kiwi slang but I think it may actually be British slang

Tucker is food ;D
DD2 is much more sensitive, I had to be more reticent with her.

Yep I also give everything from the get go! Eggs, dairy,meat, fish I don't think there is anything that she hasn't eaten! Oh I haven't given nuts or honey....but my mum but her hand in her mouth while she eating pistachios and she didn't have a reaction, but will wait until she is one before I try properly!
Charli did you give nuts before 1 years of age?
