"Yesterday Emmett had his six-month visit\u2014holy cow!\u2014and his pediatrician had a lot of interesting things to say about introducing solids.  The old rules were you had to give a baby one vegetable at a time every week. And it had to be steamed and pureed plain\u2014no spices, butter or oil. And you had to wait a few more months to introduce dairy. But Dr. Gold\u2014who specializes in childhood nutrition\u2014says to start letting him taste EVERYTHING now!  She says any time we&amp;#039;re eating soup or making a sauce or dipping something in ketchup, we should put a little on our finger and let him lick it off. Even if the food has peanut oil or eggs in it. She also said it was okay to introduce a new vegetable as often as every day. As she pointed out, when you&amp;#039;re allergic to a food, it doesn&amp;#039;t take three days (or a week!) to get a reaction. And she said exposing him to potential allergens isn&amp;#039;t going to give him an allergy\u2014in fact, they might condition his system to accept potentially allergenic foods, rather than rejecting them later on. I LOVE that Emmett&amp;#039;s doctor is super-laid-back! I figure I do enough worrying on my own, I don&amp;#039;t need someone who&amp;#039;s going to make me MORE worried! Do you like laid-back doctors, too? Or do you prefer someone who&amp;#039;s more by-the-books? (The general practitioner I go to is also super-chill!) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
