Introducing allergens when weaning

I second the solid starts app. My boy had egg for the first time today as his first allergen. All went great. The app is so helpful on how to serve food. Give ideas on meals etc. I was so scared of blw so was doing purées but building In confidence now due to the app

@Beth how did you do the egg?

Thanks for the app recommendation, already looks so useful! X

@Jess like an omelet basically. I beat the egg with some breast milk but any milk will do then cut it up into strips the width of two fingers pushed together :) x

@Beth oh brilliant! Thanks. We’re on very fine purées at the moment as baby was six weeks premature so taking it slow. I’ll boil an egg and see how finely I can mash it. X

We did omelette for egg, weetabix for wheat, soya yoghurt for soya and natural yoghurt for dairy. Will also be doing peanut butter for nut allergy

After introduction of the allergen I'm keeping each in his diet once per week as this is proven to reduce the risk of a future allergy developing. Here's hoping. Not bothering with dairy as he reacts to my milk if I have dairy. Waiting on a specialist appointment for the plan to introduce that probably when he's 11 months
