Can anyone direct me to a list of order to introduce possible allergens to babies, please?

Ds2 has had eczema and i haven't given him eggs, nuts, seeds or quorn yet
milk, wheat, soya and tomatoes seem ok
which shall i try next?

Thank you F&Z and beachcomber.
I think its time to go back to the drs tbh, but will look for hemp seed oil tomorrow when I go for my fennel tea...

Hope you find something that helps EachPeach.

Also I know not generally a popular point of view but be careful with vaccines. Space 'em out and only give those (if any) that you think are of real benefit to your child. Atopic children are excused from social responsibilty in my book. Avoid vaccines during a flare up.

Hi!
I hate to invade someone else's post, but this seemed like the right place to ask a quick question:
When I was growing up in the 70s, there was no problem with food allergies - my sister and I were bought up on peanut butter from the moment we could eat sandwiches, and our friends were the same.
When a cousin was born in the early 90s, same thing - no fuss!
However, when dd was born in 2004, there was a big fuss about introducing the right foods at the right ages, and not giving nuts until 5yo.
I'm not criticising - dd does have some food allergies, although they are not severe - I'm just interested to know when the allergy stuff was bought in/became an issue?

Weeellll, my theory is in direct relation with what I mention above.

Hugely complex issue with lots of factors and facets but I am as sure as I could be of anything that vaccines didn't help my already susceptible DD.

There is a link to the whole peanut thing that I would love to have a sensible discussion about. Might have a go at starting a thread in vaccinations one of these days.

Disclaimer, I'm not saying that all allergies in everybody have a direct link but there is certainly plenty of plausible evidence that points to vaccines playing a role as one of many environmental factors for some people. Unfortunately it is not a popular idea and very taboo but inconvenient though it may be, vaccines are definitely a consideration.

[Beach runs and hides in preparation for tirade of 'but vaccines are the best thing ever, always, and it must be true because everybody says it all the time' type response]

[And apologises to Franny for possibly turning her thread into a debate/killing it completely]

dh had allergies as a child, as did I (he is a child of the 60s, me of the 70s).

Poor dh. Because allergies weren't diagnosed in the 60s and he was horrifically under weight, they were advised to add raw egg to his milk/food to fatten him up. Ironically, it was egg he was allergic to (and chicken) . His skin was so bad as a young adult, the strength of the steroids he had to use to clear it up have left his skin thinned for life.

He was properly diagnosed in his 20s, cut out the allergens and his skin is far better (though he still has fairly severe eczema)

Allergies have always been around. I'm just not sure they were diagnosed like they are now.

Sorry - I know that allergies have always been around - I just wondered where all the rules surrounding them came from - I was introduced to peanuts when I was about 2, in the 70s, and my cousin was the same in the early 90s, however, there are guidelines now about when to introduce children to different foods - when did this start?

oh I seee

well it has even changed from when my two were babies in the early 2000s

I suppose some might say it's medical progress. They are trying to analyse why they happen and why some children outgrow them and some don't (we were asked to contribute to this research!).
