Are we feeding our babies many ingredients at once?
This feels so dumb but this mom is so overwhelmed. I would appreciate kindness and any advice.
My nine month old is still being introduced to allergens and ingredients. We started at 7months. This is taking forever. I’m introducing her to one new food at a time.
All single foods or double foods. Like, egg and oatmeal. And then when that’s safe, oatmeal with raspberries. Then when that’s safe, oatmeal with raspberries and applesauce.
This is taking ages and there has to be a better way. I’m worried she’ll get many food allergies bc of all the time this takes.
People are like “feed them what you eat” but we eat meals with tons of ingredients Shes NEVER been exposed to, even if there are no major allergens in the dish.
She’s been diagnosed with a peanut allergy.
I can’t help but feel like I’m failing her.
Moms and parents, after stage 1 and stage 2 eating (or even baby lead), are you giving them premade foods? Like I’d eat a soy milk yogurt with chia seeds and fruit for breakfast. As long as shes not allergic to soy, can I go ahead and give her this meal even though it might have new fruit and preservatives in the yogurt???? I eat pretty clean but it’s completely irrational I feel to feed her only 100% clean, whole ingredient food, introduced one food at a time. Is this incorrect thinking??? Thank you for your help 🙏🏻
