This. We started at 4.5 months at my pediatrician's encouragement. 6 out of 8 allergens including peanuts done by 6 months. At 8 months, she's had over 70 different foods including... a taste of ice cream.

I've been kind of shocked parents don't know you are supposed to be doing this. New research backs it up.

Because advice changes. I would be willing to bet that if you have a second or third child the feeding advice will be very different.

Please. People put soda in baby bottles. Kids are taught to be obese from birth. I feel sorry for those kids. Never had a chance.

Did the child survive?

Solids at 4 months isn't the worst thing.

I wouldn't do icecream at that age, but I'm all about trying to avoid processed food and junk as long as possible.

And at that rate, crack by age 2.

A few months later we found out she has an egg allergy so I felt guilty about not thinking through giving her the lick of ice cream, but thankfully it didn’t cause a reaction.

Isn't that how you normally learn of food allergies: you feed them something and then they break out in a rash?

We found out our kid had an egg allergy because we have him scrambled eggs. I don't feel guilty giving him eggs before I knew he had an allergy.

I think it's fine to give them a taste. Honestly, in the long run, I think it's more harmful to go out for ice cream with your baby and refuse to give them any, if they want some. I think that sends some weird food messages.

I wouldn't give a 6-month-old a bowl/cone of ice cream, but then again a 6-month-old can't even really hold a bowl of ice cream and probably can't eat that much ice cream anyway.

Ice cream is fine. I guarantee if you asked your ped if a taste of ice cream was ok they would laugh.
