I'd be grateful for any advice from the obviously very clued-up people on here. My ds is 8.5 months and has a tiny bit of excema on his ankles - it started at 4mo whilst he was exclusively bf. I started weaning him at 6mo and he's now happily eating most things.
I've held off gluten but he has had a portion of porridge containing gluten by accident, and also dairy, although he has one formula feed per day. So should I just go the whole hog and give him a bit of toast? And then (at a different point) some cheese? Can anybody tell me why you're supposed to wait until 9 months for these? Or should I wait longer? All I can find is 'wait with these foods until 9-12 months' but I can't really see why not...
Advice appreciated, thanks.
Oh, forgot to say I have horrible, awful, currently v. v. painful excema so would really like to avoid inflicting same on ds, if at all possible.
