The latest on children and allergies Doctors used to recommend waiting until age 1 or even much later to introduce solid foods that are the most common allergens, especially with kids at risk for allergies. But the American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) has changed its tune because studies show that these delays probably dont help keep allergies from developing. For toddlers, its not necessary to introduce new foods gradually, unless your child is allergic to other foods. If your child already has a known food allergy, its still a wise idea to wait several days after each new menu item to make sure your child doesnt react badly to it. And check with his doctor to determine the best strategy for introducing the top allergenic foods like eggs, milk, peanuts, wheat, soy, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish.
