Excerpt: " In the decade since the WHO issued its global recommendation, evidence

has emerged that babies who aren't introduced to solid foods during the crucial

window of four to six months of age may be at heightened risk of developing food

advised to wait until their babies were 6 months old before introducing them to

gluten; when the advisory was changed and parents were told to wait only four

months, the rate of celiac disease fell. "
