We have been keeping up with one new food for 3 days straight since 6mths their 9mths now, wondering when is it okay to stop the test period for allergies? I meant to ask pedi at their appt but forgot, anyone know? thanks

I was wondering this too. DH and I don't have allergies but I have a few cousins who have a ton but I'm not sure if that really makes a difference since they're not immediate family? I guess I've been a little cautious because of them lol
thanks! we have no allergies on either side also so Im thinking I'll stop but just keep in mind what new food they have just incase any issues turn up.

We stopped after maybe a month? Two? Anyway, it didn't last long. Probably though, once we start foods with higher likelyhood of allergies, like eggs, cow's milk, or peanut butter, we'll do the three-day thing for those.
I live in Canada and the new recommendation here is that unless you have a close family member with allergies, you can introduce a new food each day (they usually react within 3-4 hrs if there is a sensitivity). DD started eating whole eggs at around 6 months, has had pb, berries, fish, etc.
