General Health

Your child will develop at his or her own space. So don't worry if your child isn't eating solid baby foods at the time suggested. Solid baby foods should only be started when your child is ready for them.

It is important to introduce only 1 new food at a time, and call your doctor if your child has an allergic reaction: a rash, sneezing, or itchy eyes. You may want to ask your child's doctor for a schedule of recommended foods and appropriate time to introduce them into your child's diet.

Foods are the main source of allergic reactions in children. That is why it is important to introduce new foods slowly and cautiously, as directed by your doctor. There are also allergies that are not related to foods, such as seasonal allergies, like hay fever. It is important for you to record any potential allergic reactions your child experiences. If you believe your child is suffering from an allergy, contact your doctor. Click here for baby growth charts.
