Tomato soup is one of those soups that you really can’t do wrong. You simply chop up tomatoes, toss them in a pot, add some liquid then puree and presto – Tomato Soup. Tomatoes are bursting with lycopene, beta carotene and vitamin C; all nutrients that babies benefit from greatly. Yet tomatoes and babies often [...]
Is the 4 day wait rule really necessary? Have you been told to abide by or toss it out the window along with other “old wives tales”? As studies are now showing that waiting to introduce allergenic foods might not have any impact on whether a child develops a food allergy, the use of the [...]
Lynn sent this along and I thought I would post it for you all. As many of you may have seen, the pages on WBF that relate to allergies or to allergenic foods have been updated to note “new” recommendations about introducing allergenic foods to babies. The study below relates directly to eggs and is [...]
While the recommendations for introducing allergenic foods such as eggs, strawberries and even peanuts may be changing (visit the Allergies & Baby Food page to learn more), there are still many parents out there who are told not to offer their babies “berries” until the age of 12 months. I find this just as frustrating [...]
Many who think they have food allergies actually do not. A new report, commissioned by the federal government, finds the field is rife with poorly done studies, misdiagnoses and tests that can give misleading results. While there is no doubt that people can be allergic to certain foods, with reproducible responses ranging from a rash [...]
It seems like the advice and recommendations for introducing solid foods that are top allergens is constantly changing. Changes to recommendations can be a nightmare for new, and experienced, parents who are bombarded with [conflicting, old wives tales etc] advice on how to best feed their little ones. There has been one confusing item in particular [...]
Every now and then we have a parent write in that their little one has experienced a reaction to a certain food that we have not listed as being an allergy issue. On our Allergy information page, we list those foods that are common and high allergens. We note this allergy risk information on the [...]
Today we received an email from Jamie who wrote that her little one seems to have a reaction/allergy to eggplant. Jamie wondered why we didn’t have a note that eggplant might be a possible allergen. She went on to tell us that her Dad (a farmer) noted that eggplant is a member of the nightshade [...]
When your baby is around 9-10 months of age, you will have introduced baby to many new foods. At this point, you will have a good idea about what foods may be allergenic or cause your little one digestive upsets. At this stage, paying less attention to the 4 day wait rule is common. Once [...]
If your baby (or anyone else in the family) has been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance or an allergy to wheat, this wheat-free flour blend is for you. Many parents want to make their little ones homemade teething biscuits or other baked goods but due to an allergy or intolerance, they can’t. Try the mix [...]
We received an email this evening regarding delaying the introduction of foods listed on our Forbidden Foods chart. Sandra wrote the following: Your list of “forbidden” foods is very poorly outdated. The AAP revised their very old policy about withholding peanuts and other “no nos” a very long time ago. The new recommendation is that [...]
Tracie brought to our attention the fact that we had no information about when it was okay to stop following the 4 day wait rule. We couldn’t believe we forgot to mention this in our page about the 4 day wait rule! We have edited the page to include information about relaxing the rule. Thank [...]
