There is a real risk of allergy during complementary feeding, but don't panic. By trying each new food 3-5 days apart, one at a time, you can clearly see which food causes a reaction.
Most allergenic foods: cow's milk, egg white, peanuts/tree nuts, honey, strawberry, seafood, wheat, soy, sesame. When trying these, start in the morning with a small amount — this way you can monitor for reaction throughout the day.
Allergy signs: redness or swelling around the mouth, rash on skin, diarrhea or vomiting, wheezy breathing, lips turning blue. If you see breathing trouble, blue lips, or loss of consciousness, call 911 right away. For mild rash or a few hours of fussiness, stop that food and check with your pediatrician.
Current pediatric view: Rather than delaying allergenic foods (milk, eggs, etc.) until later, introducing them early under doctor guidance, once your baby's development is ready, may be more protective — but make this decision together with your child's doctor.
