How can starting a certain food too early cause the baby to have allergies?
the babies digestive system is not developmentaly ready for certain foods untill certain ages if you introduce something to a baby before their system is ready to accept it then the babies body will treat the new thing as a foreign object and try to fight it off or reject it baby will then have a allerigic reaction and most likely be allergic to it for the rest of his/her life not only that babies tummies and digestive track are very sensitive and untill a certain age has a hard time breaking down anything more complex then breastmilk or formula there is also a risk or choking as well to be safe just go by what your ped tells you normaly baby cereal and first foods can be introduced around 4-6 months , 2 oz of baby juice mixed with 2 oz of water not to exceed 4 oz of juice tottal per day starting at 6 months , purreed meats at 7-8 months , finger foods such as gerber graduates is usually around 9-12 months depending on baby and absolutly no berries,eggs untill the age of 1 and no nuts,
