breads? crackers? pasta? I think that is going to be the first "allergenic" food we try...

    I have celiac disease (wheat allergy) and was very nervous about introducing wheat.  We talked to a celiac disease specialist and they said to introduce wheat while baby is still on BM (if possible) because that helps.

    The dr also encouraged us to make sure we introduce it before her first bday. He said to treat the food no differently than any other food.  So we went ahead with puffs at 7.5 months, Cheerios at 9 months, slices of bread at 10 months.

    Cereal.... the oatmeal with any kind of fruit in it has wheat. Started with that and went from there.

    I have celiac as well and we introduced it around 8 months. I was nervous at first too. I read lots of articles on celiac disease and babies and they said to introduce wheat around 6 months.

    This past weekend, I gave DD a Stage 2 puree that was Mixed Veggies with Wheat Pasta...I sent it to daycare today, too.
