When can I start feeding...
« on: March 17, 2006, 02:21:30 am »
...my baby all the "baby banned" foods?
    strawberries
    kiwi
    citrus
    egg whites
    commercially baked goods
    peanuts

Have I missed any?  ???

My dd is one year old (tomorrow!) & I would like to start feeding her the same things we are eating at the dinner table without having to worry about the taboo foods.  Any advice at all on this would be helpful.

Thank you,
Libby's Mom

In general, all citrus, berries, kiwi, egg whites, etc is okay at 1 yr. I've seen the same guidelines for peanut butter as well, but some folks are a bit more cautious since peanut allergy tends to be the most serious. She should be able to eat just about everything you do, just be cautious of choking hazards like grapes, hot dogs, popcorn, hard fruits and veg, and skins on fruits until age 3. Happy birthday, Libby! :)
