How long should I wait after introducing an allergen before trying the next one?

After introducing a new allergen food, you should observe for 3 days (72 hours) before moving on to the next allergen.
This time is enough for delayed-type allergic reactions (like eczema flare-ups, digestive problems, or hives) to appear. During the observation period, give that food once a day (one or two spoonfuls) and watch your baby's skin, breathing, poop consistency, and overall mood.
If you see no signs in the 3 days, you can add that food to the safe list and repeat the same process with a new allergen.
