My lo is at risk for allergies (I have food allergies myself, there are allergies of all sorts on both sides of the family). HOWEVER, I have been introducing one food a week since she was 5 1/2 months old and so far she has not had any allergic reactions.
I have even introduced wheat and dairy successfully! ( I started her on yogurt and bagels and we went from there.)
She is now 12 months old and at this rate she is going to be in kindergarten before I've introduced her to all the beans out there and any meat other than chicken and turkey. And she is a big eater--she's getting tired of the same old thing!
What do you guys think? At this point can we speed it up a little bit? I'm thinking we might try a 3 or 4 day introduction period or maybe stagger it. If she hasn't had a reaction in 3 days, she's probably not allergic, right?
I just don't want her to miss out on all that nutrition, especially since at this point, I'm starting to suspect she doesn't have any food allergies.
