Notes about this baby food schedule
Most pediatricians recommend that babies can be introduced to a wide range of foods from 6 months, including some of the foods that were previously considered 'high risk' for babies under one year of age.
...Although solid foods should not be introduced before 4 to 6 months of age, there is no current convincing evidence that delaying their introduction beyond this period has a significant protective effect on the development of atopic disease regardless of whether infants are fed cow milk protein formula or human milk. This includes delaying the introduction of foods that are considered to be highly allergic, such as fish, eggs, and foods containing peanut protein."
Of course, it's up to you and your pediatrician to determine the best time to introduce certain foods, but we've suggested delaying some foods a little if we (or other parents) have found them to be responsible for causing excessive gas or other digestive upsets!
