Strawberries
« on: March 19, 2007, 20:55:57 pm »
Could someone remind me when it is ok to generally try introducing strawberries?  My DS has eczema and although we haven't identified foods that cause it, I want to be cautious.

Thanks

Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron says 9-12 months and she's usually on the conserative end, so I'd say, give it a shot!

Since your little one is over a year I'd say go ahead and try too! Just go slowly and look for a reaction. Good luck!

In the UK they advise 12 months and over so you should be ok to try. Just go really slowly and watch for a reaction.

Thanks.  His eczema seems to have flared up right now (can't figure out why  :-\) but maybe once it clears up we'll give them a try.
