upset at nanny -- vent
Thank you Beth. I make it a practice not to feed anything to babies in my
care, that isn't sent by mom (I don't babysit too much though) because it does seem there is more information today about excluding things from babies diet to prevent allergies. I certainly didn't have this kind of information when my kids were babies. I guess I lucked out in that none of my children have seemed to inherit my allergies. -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World... Beth Kevles wrote in message ...

In babies with a family history of gluten intolerance (celiac disease) , wheat should be introduced at least three months BEFORE the cessation of breastfeeding. The preceding recommendations are based on the results of various searches through Medline abstracts and celiac websites. Of course, delaying the introduction of wheat may or may not have any noticable effect, either positive or negative, on YOUR baby.
