Allergens

Lower-risk serving reminders

  • Keep pieces soft and large enough to grasp for self-feeding.
  • Avoid over-drying food; moisture helps safe chewing and swallowing.
  • Stay nearby and watch paced bites even with lower-risk foods.

Allergen introduction checklist

  • Introduce new foods in the daytime so you can watch for reactions.
  • When introducing a new allergen, keep it as the only new food for that meal.
  • If tolerated, repeat the food regularly in small amounts.
  • This food is linked to one or more major allergens in the directory — start with a very small taste and monitor.

General feeding checklist

Readiness signs to check

  • Baby can sit upright with minimal support during meals.
  • Hands and mouth coordinate for bringing food to the mouth.
  • Tongue-thrust reflex is reduced, so food is not immediately pushed out.
  • Interest in self-feeding and opening mouth for food cues is visible.

Pause and seek advice if

  • Coughing is persistent or distress does not settle quickly during meals.
  • You notice repeated vomiting, rash, swelling, wheeze, or breathing changes after a food.
  • Baby struggles with swallowing progression over multiple meals despite texture adjustments.
  • There is a known medical condition affecting feeding, growth, or airway safety.
