How old?
Does anyone know how old los should be before you can offer shellfish and soft cheeses? Because I eat almost all my meals with Peter I have had to avoid some of my favourite foods until now, but he is a year old on Monday and would love to start introducing him to some of them if possible.

Completely off topic but they say you can eat peanuts in pregnancy now as well!!
Didn't know about the peanuts either. I was in total panic about offering Peter peanuts. Took the plunge at 8 months and he has had no reaction at all, thankfully.
Lissy'smommy, I'll definitely keep my eye our for reactions. No history of fish allergy on either side, so hopefully we'll be okay.
Thanks so much for all the advice, ladies. )
He's been having peanut butter since 1, we dont give him whole nuts but he did have about 1/3 of a chocolate brazil today.
I was thinking of trying him with runny eggs & soldiers though, hopefully that will be OK at this age. xx
Ymgm, I was told they are not supposed to have runny eggs and soldiers until 5!! But I have to admit I am taking that one with a pretty hefty dose of salt (also banned, I know ) as I can't imagine a childhood without soft boiled eggs and toast soldiers.
And they just state 'very young children' for runny egg guidelines, but I guess so long as you buy the lion stamped eggs they will be fine, as the hens have been vaccinated against salmonella so are safer.
I'm sad in knowing so much, but dh has a mild egg allergy so I read up on it - still gave lo whole egg at 9 months :roll: and he was fine!
Mmmm, I know what we're having for breakfast in the morning!
Talking of salt, I do avoid it for lo, I think it's hidden in some food he eats but I don't ever put it in cooking, BUT I do feel sorry for the poor mite having to eat food without it!
