Food Allergy is very common

They are bothered to know which food would be best for them, how it is possible to avoid food allergies in babies or how to identify the symptoms of allergies in babies.

If the baby is given three new foods over the entire day and the baby develops allergy towards the food then it becomes difficult for the parents to identify which food has caused the allergy. The order of introduction of new foods is not important as long as they are healthy and offer the required nutrients to the body. After introducing a new food to the baby, the parents should wait for three-four days to check out if there is any allergic symptoms gets provoked by this food item or not.
