Question
How do I know if my baby has an allergy?
Answer
If you or your partner has a history of allergies, such as
asthma, eczema, hay fever or food allergies, you should consult
your healthcare professional before starting to wean your baby.
Some of the following foods contain potential allergens and so
should be introduced one at a time after six months of age. Consult
your healthcare professional if you have any questions or
concerns.
- Gluten containing foods such as bread, pasta or cereals
containing wheat
- Peanuts (never give whole peanuts to children under 5 years of
age - crush them up finely)
- Egg
- Soya
