Question

Should I avoid foods that my family are allergic to when I start introducing food to my baby?

Answer

Your baby may be more likely to have food allergies if you or your family also have allergies or allergic conditions like asthma or eczema. Before introducing these foods, speak to your healthcare professional for advice. Avoid cutting out whole food groups unnecessarily though, unless advised to do so by your healthcare professional, as your baby's diet may lack essential nutrients.
