Did anyone NOT wait 4 days between food introductions?

I am just wondering if this is a long time. My baby loves the avocado and it seems to be treating her well. Can I move on to the next food or should I wait the whole 4 days?

I wait 2 days.

You should do what you feel comfortable doing. My pedi said wait 2-3 days in between foods - I wait about a day or two.

we were pretty lax on that one. we waited maybe 2-3 days. DS has never had any allergic reactions up to this point, so we don't even think about it anymore.

I did wait at the beginning, but I don't anymore. DS eats everything and we have no allergies in our family. I might wait a day or two but that is it. I don't think too much about it.

I have held off on strawberries, citrus, eggs, honey, and nuts though, FWIW.

Meh, sometimes I don't wait, and she's been fine.

I never did this with Nathan... but I have done a little more research on food allergies since then and am going to do this with Natalie. If you don't have a history of food allergies in your family it is probably OK.

Neither DH nor I have food allergies, so we didn't wait. It never seemed to bother her, either.

maybe 2 days.

I am definitely planning following the waiting rules to introduce highly allergenic stuff until later, but I am out of avocado and I have some bananas. I thought I might give it a try instead.

I waited a day or two in the beginning but not so much now. No one in our families have food allergies, and I figure if he has one it will show up within a day.
