allergies, food, 14 months old
I have been wondering about a few foods.
Oops! I forgot to mention that she is still breastfed several times a day - usual schedule would be: first thing in the morning, to fall asleep for her nap, to go to sleep at night, and 3 or 4 times a night. I also don't know when I can start eating peanuts again. I am beginning to miss them. Thank you! --- --- Vicki in Indiana Married my dear husband Joshua on May 21, 1995.

I didn't realize that Zora and Aurora share a birthday! That is *way* cool. When can I give my little girl tofu? tomatoes? strawberries? beans? nuts that are not peanuts? Honestly, I introduced all of these foods except nuts after age 1 with all my kids. They never showed any signs of sensitivity. I waited until they were 2 for nuts, mainly because I myself am allergic to raw nuts. -- Be well, Barbara (Julian [7/22/97], Aurora [7/19/99], and Vernon's [3/2/02] mom) See us at http://photos.yahoo.com/guavaln This week's special at the English Language Butcher Shop: "How a seller can improve their home's value" -- newspaper headline What does it all mean?

Nope, they share the 19th, but Zora's birthday is MAY 19, not July 19. And, of course, Zora does rhyme with Aurora, which is indeed, way cool.

They never showed any signs of sensitivity. I waited until they were 2 for nuts, mainly because I myself am allergic to raw nuts. Hurm. My family doctor said I should hold off on soy, peanuts and beans, but I forgot to ask her how long I should wait. I see her for myself next week, I should try to remember to ask her. Maybe Doc is being overly conservative? Off course, I added tomatoes, other nuts and strawberries to that list all by myself, from vague memories of stuff I learned when my first kid was very small - so maybe I am the one being overly conservative. I guess I just want reasurrance that if she DOES have a reaction, I can stop giving her that food and all will still be okay, or a firm date when it is safe to feed her those things. I.e.: "Soy becomes safe at 17 months, one week and two days of age." --- --- Vicki in Indiana Married my dear husband Joshua on May 21, 1995.

Hi - There is NO time at which any food becomes "safe". However, by delaying you improve the odds that the food won't cause a reaction. If your child does have a reaction, ruthlessly eliminate that food from your child's diet for a while (several years) to improve the odds that the reaction will not recur. --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

My family is big on environmental allergies, but no food allergies, so we chose the route of adding one new food every 3 days while watching for reactions, and holding off on adding common food allergens to the mix until 12 months. We are waiting till 3 yrs before doing peanuts. I've read conflicting things about whether or not you can eat peanuts while BF. I know you shouldn't while pregnant. DrRuth |

When can I give my little girl tofu? tomatoes? strawberries? beans? nuts that are not peanuts? Patrick is sensitive to dairy, toms, strawbs, and occasionally citrus. We're completely avoiding nuts (man...I miss pine nuts!!). I haven't heard anything about beans tho. What's that? Patrick's 19 months, almost :-). He gets water, 5 little meals a day, and lots and lots of bm. :-). E |
