I am finding conflicting info on when to do this, did you wait until after a year or start earlier?  My pedi's packet in unclear on this - thanks.

    I think he was around 6-7 months...but that was because I didn't know there was any issue with it...same thing with eggs..oops!  luckily he never had a reaction to either thing!

    I have strawberry allergies so waited until after a year to intoduse them per pedi advice
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

    I think around 9 months, but by accident.  I fed strawberry applesauce not realizing it was not regular applesauce.  My mom has a strawberry allergy so I had planned to wait... turns out he had no problems and loves them like crazy.

    According to my pedi, current thinking on this is not to delay unless there is a presence of allergies to that specific food in the family. We started strawberries and eggs and everything else when we started table foods - all around the same time! And he LOVES them! :)

    This is what I've been reading and we have no history of food allergies.  I have strawberries in the house and I'm thinking a strawberry, banana, yogurt puree would be yummy for lunch!

    There's no reason to wait...IIRC, we did them when we did everything else.

    Unless you have a family history of allergies, go for it!!

    We did it around 8-9 months when we did table food.

    Our pedi gave us the green light on any food but honey at H's 9-month appointment. That said, we held off on strawberries specifically until he was a year old because DH is allergic.

    Probably 7 months? She loved them then, loves them now. No issues.

    I was on the later side -- around 12 months.  We have no history of allergies in our family but I def was a little nervous about prevailing wisdom at the time even though they now say the risk with allergenic foods isn't as real if you don't have a family history of allergies.
