Adding foods after the intro

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone!

After much lurking and then wavering about the intro, we finally did it. We are

doing it egg-

free and are adding applesauce today. I am wondering...is it really bad to also

add squash or

green beans today too? It is just so tough without the eggs (we are leaving

them out for a

while because my son scores a 1 on the IGG test and we were eating a lot of

them). I should

know the answers to this, but now that I am actually doing it, I am nervous.

Either squash

and or green beans would help a lot. Also, do we have to puree the green beans

or will

steaming them until they are pretty squishy do??

Thanks,

mom to Carson, age 4 ASD, SCD since 12/9/07 (nut diet since approx 10/1/07)

Hi ! Congrats on taking the plunge.

A lot of people add squash right away if they are not

doing eggs. But since you are adding applesauce, you

might want to wait a couple of days (I know). I think

I would have added the squash right away instead of

the apples. I don't think many people have problems

with squash but some people are intolerant to apples.

I boiled green beans until mostly squishy but they

still held together in a bean shape.

How do you know if you can't tolerate apples?

Some people posted that they had itchy skin/scalp. For

my son if he does not tolerate a food, he has diarrhea

an hour after eating it. So I can tell fast!

Some kids will have behavior issues. Everybody is

different. That is why introducing one food every few

days is the way to go.
