it’s important to introduce baby to new foods gradually and one at a time in case of food allergies. otherwise you’ll have trouble tying an allergy to a specific new food. for example if you give your baby three new foods over the course of a day and she develops an allergic reaction you won’t know which of the foods provoked it. it doesn’t matter all that much which foods you introduce to your baby or which order you introduce them in as long as the foods you are offering are healthy and well-balanced. but each time you offer a new food you should wait three to five days before adding another to the menu. don’t eliminate all the other foods your baby is already eating during that time -- just don’t add anything else new.
