I’m so scared to introduce my son to foods like peanuts, shellfish, etc. because what do I do if he’s extremely allergic and goes into anaphylactic shock?? I’m a total worry wart and I know it but this is a legitimate concern to me lmao

If there's a history of allergies in immediate family, it's a good idea to have an epi pen and benadryl in your E kit 😊 i introduced pb around 10m. We don't eat much shellfish but so far so good

You can always introduce something new before a dr appointment

I got my son tested at 1 to know what he’s allergic to , I just never gave him peanuts and definitely not shell fish , it turned out he was allergic to eggs which he always ate so honestly it can be just anything .. and plus he didn’t eat regular food till about 8 months

If there is a history of it tell his doctor and they may deem doing an allergy test although they have to wait til age 1. My daughter had to get one and she has a peanut allergy.

My son is allergic to egg and milk but that was found out by trial and error. His dad is allergic to shellfish so we don’t eat it at all. If it’s a worry when he gets older you can have your ped draw blood and have it tested for allergies. It may put your mind at ease.

@amouryaya09, @unagie, @jellybeans_mumm, @modom16, @kambam, thank y’all, I’m going to just hold off on those foods until I can get him tested for allergies!
