Should I try egg, fish, and tahini on the same day or one by one; I'm worried about mixing up the reaction.

Pediatric guidance is clear on this: allergenic foods should be tried one at a time, with maximum one new food per week and 3-5 days apart, as the safest approach. If you give egg, fish, and tahini on the same day, you won't be able to tell which food caused any allergic reaction. I recommend trying eggs and fish (the most common allergens) separately, in a form appropriate for your baby's age. Each time you introduce a new food, observe for rash, swelling, or breathing changes in the first few hours. If you see a reaction, stop that food and talk to your pediatrician.
