S/O Foods to Avoid

nym10/23/2004

My dr only told me to avoid pb and honey. He also said to avoid for awhile foods that are choking hazards like popcorn, nuts, etc. So, not knowing there are other foods to avoiid, I've given DD diced tomatoes and she LOVES them. Should I quit giving them to her? Or is it you just supposed to avoid foods that might be allergic and since she didn't have a reaction I can keep giving them to her?

I gave Gabe tomato and pineapple around 8 months.  He ate them both for nearly 4 months before he had allergic reactions.  Now he breaks out and starts wheezing when he eats them.

I always wonder if it's from early introduction.

I would avoid those foods if at all possible.

if she didn't have a reaction i think you're fine. our doc said tomatoes were fine at our 9 month appt. they said eggs, nuts, shellfish, honey, karo syrup, and PB were off limits till a year.

Same here, except for the Karo syrup.  I've never heard that one.  DD had tomatoes for lunch yesterday and loved them.
