Which rule do you follow
when introducing new foods? 3 days or 4 days???
Why? (as in, your ped told you, or you read it online, or you're following the advice of the girls here)

Re: Which rule do you follow
I used to wait at least 3, usually closer to 5. I have a few food allergies so I was worried that they might too and I wanted to really give it a while to make sure it was safe.

Minimum of three days.
Sometimes longer - if I was lazy and didn't want to start a new food!

Re: Which rule do you follow
I always heard to wait about 3-4 days between new foods. I actually go 7...lol. I start new foods on Friday because I'm home with her all weekend so I can watch for a reaction.

Re: Which rule do you follow
We did it for a couple of days - maybe up to 5 days - there is food allergies on my DH's side - so we needed to be careful

Re: Which rule do you follow
I only did 2 days. DD only had a reaction to eggs when we moved into "real" food. I saw that reaction within about 15 minutes. That allergy has come and gone though.

Re: Which rule do you follow
with DD#1 I think I waited 3 days.
with DD#2 I didn't wait at all
But we have no food allergies on either side and I figured if she was allergic, I would see a reaction that day...

Re: Which rule do you follow
I do at least 3 days, sometimes more. DD has a bunch of allergies so if I'm unsure I'll do it for an extra day.
DH, on the other hand, has to be reminded constantly about the 3 day rule. Sometimes he follows the 1 day rule. You'd think a man with a whole bunch of allergies would be a little sensitive to the new food thing, but nope!

Re: Which rule do you follow
3 days & never at night.
eta. My pediatrican's suggestion. Allergywise you want to see any reactions throughout the day.

Re: Which rule do you follow
We skipped baby food. My girls went straight to table foods (one at 7 months old and the other at 8 months old).
So we never fed the same thing more than once before going to the next thing.

Honestly though...I did the 3 day rule with Ariel.
For the rest whatever I did depended upon the food they were getting...
The "rule" is so you know what food they are allergic to should you see a reaction....
If food allergies ran in my family I'd probably be a little bit more diligent...
