hi there
dh & I have allergies (but not food ones) so we were told to avoid certain foods. Hopefully I can help you here.
Strawberries- we were told to avoid until after 12 months (dd has now had strawberry yoghurt & was fine with that but I have not been brave enough to try a raw strawberry yet!) I think raspberries & blackberries fall into the same family but are not as much a "typical" allergen as strawberries
Blueberries- these are part of the cranberry family so don't have the same allergic properties. They are fine to try, we introduced them as finger foods at about 8/9 months and dd LOVES them. They are classed as a superfood- very good for you!
Citrus/ pineapple- we waited until about 11 months before trying these, although had no official guidance. DD loves pineapple and chunks are good as finger food. She doesn't like oranges so I will wait a while and try again. No reactions though. I tihnk 12 months is the official line for those with food allergies.
Peanuts- we have been advised to wait until she is 3 yrs before trying nuts including peanut butter. This is standard in the UK for any babies with allergies in the family.
Eggs- don't know as they haven't been an issue for us.
Can't think of anything else to avoid- hope this helps
