Trying to figure out which foods are okay to give your baby and when is one of the more confusing things about parenthood. Unlike innately knowing what to do when your child is fussy or tired, feeding baby solids gets tricky in the sense that, well, you don't want your kid to have a Mason Disick-style allergic reaction. But now -- sorry moms and dads -- things are about to get even more perplexing. An article by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology says that highly allergic foods like peanut butter, fish, and eggs can be introduced earlier as opposed to later. Actually, it's being recommended (by some). The belief is that allowing your baby to try these foods as early as 4 to 6 months may help prevent future allergies. What? Isn't this against everything we've been hearing?![]()
