it's completely up to you, Esther. If you have allergies in your immediate family then you could be cautious and introduce foods as per the weaning schedules on the right hand side of the page. But lots of people stick to some bits and not others. Personally, we don't really have any difficulties in the allergy department so because we waited until 6 months we were free to give Babybear what we wanted. So she had bread and pasta from the beginning, near enough, and meat. Raw tomatoes she always avoided and does seem to have a wee sensitivity to (although not for the last couple of weeks so it may be fading), also kiwi, strawberries etc i didn't give her in case of latex sensitivities. i didn't anticipate any dairy issues either so she had cheese from early on as well. Likewise no nuts for the first year, what else? My friend, who is a paediatrician working in A&E says as a wee guideline you could be cautious of 'uncooked red things' in the first year, so i think i listened to that a bit. apart from red peppers, which she'd had before he told me that and loved chewing on when very wee. if you do give her some dairy and want to be a bit cautious, just give it to her with other foods you are certain that she has no intolerance to, and nothing else new for a few days afterwards. that way if there is a reaction at least you'll know what caused it.
