It's very understandable to have allergy concerns when introducing solids. The most common allergens in babies include egg whites, cow's milk, peanuts/peanuts, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish.
The general pediatric recommendation is to try each new food alone and in the morning. Then watch for 3-5 days without introducing any other new foods. This way, you can clearly see which food might cause a reaction.
Mild symptoms (redness around the mouth, mild rash) are usually temporary, but it's still good to check with your doctor. But serious symptoms — difficulty breathing, swelling of lips/tongue, severe vomiting, change in consciousness — if you see these, go straight to the emergency room.
How old is your baby? Is there a family history of allergies? These details would help me personalize the recommendation.
