Sometimes I'll see at daycare they give the kids in DS2's room graham crackers (not him though yet...)---and was curious when they usually get those.
DS1 had such severe food allergies that he never got those until just recently--so this is a whole new ballgame for me. We're not even sure he CAN have them (still testing wheat). BUT thinking about letting him try it.
Re: When did you start giving graham crackers?
I'm not sure --honestly. I'm too afraid to really try stuff. I know he has a dairy allergy for sure. So he's on allimentum for that. We'll try to intro maybe something small around 11-12 months or so and see. Probably not straight on cow's milk though.
Haven't done eggs--- told to wait until after a year since DS1 was so allergic. As am I.
Wheat--we actually tried waffles that only had wheat--no eggs or milk and he did ok. Also tried a puree that only had wheat and no other known allergens and he's done ok.
Not sure about soy yet--we think he's ok though.
He's just very sensitive like my DS1 and I so it's sometimes tough to tell. Random hives. But nothing insane like DS1 would get. So hoping for the best. My big fear is peanuts--as DS1 is very allergic. So we'll see. I guess the good part is that we already have the epi in our house LOL.
So far I'm feeling better about this--so very hopeful.

Notes:
I haven't given them to him yet, but not because I am holding out, I just never thought about it.
If he seems to be tolerating wheat, I would try it. I am sorry you have to deal with so much worry when it comes to food. That has to be so stressful.

This...as a matter of fact DD just started eating them this week when she started her new day care. I never have any in the house but she has eaten plenty of things that have cinnamon in it.
