Introducing allergens, one at a time
Common allergens are best introduced early and kept in the diet. One new allergen at a time, in the first half of the day, and wait a couple of days before the next.
Your baby has a family history of allergy or eczema: talk to your pediatrician before offering peanut and egg.
