Questions
- Does the guide recommend a specific allergen-introduction schedule?
- It summarizes general, widely published approaches to introducing common allergens one at a time and encourages you to confirm timing and any special precautions with your pediatrician, especially if there's a family history of allergy or eczema.
- Is baby-led weaning covered, or only purées?
- Both, side by side, with a comparison so you can choose (or blend) the approach that fits your baby and your household.
