DD has been on solids for nearly 2 months (she's almost 8 months old), we have given her practically all fruit & veg advised for her age, baby rice and now a bit of chicken and have had no problems or reactions to anything so far. Apart from solids, she is still breastfed and had never had any formula or dairy. Because of a family history of Asthma (my sister) and hayfever (me and DH) and IBS (me), I am planning to breastfeed until 12 months minimum. I want to start giving her breakfast, but all the baby cereal needs making up with milk (and my ebm is all going to nursery for her 2 daytime bottles), or contain cows milk already or have wheat in them and I am just a bit wary and confused about what to do for the best.
When should I start introducing Dairy and Wheat? I don't want to be too fussy, but ideally want to avoid doing anything which will increase her risk of allergies.
Thanks in advance
