Foods To Avoid


Hi naem,

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends you begin introducing solid foods to your baby around six months of age to ensure he receives proper nutrition. While you are preparing for this momentous milestone, keep in mind there are a number of foods you should not give your baby until he is older, including:

Wheat: Wheat is the most common grain allergen so you should not give your baby wheat or wheat products until he is six to eight months old and can handle rice and oats.

Honey: Honey can harbor spores of botulism, which can grow and produce life-threatening toxins in your baby's intestinal tract. Do not give your baby honey until he is older than one year.

-->Seriously, hari tu ingat nak campur sket honey dalam susu soya dia (untuk pelan peralihan) biar rasa manis sket. Tatu lak pasal nih. Have to do some research!


Cow's Milk: Giving a baby cow's milk too early can cause childhood allergies. Wait to introduce cow's milk until he is one year old.

Eggs: Infants older than nine months can have egg yolks, but wait until your baby is older than one year to give him the protein-rich whites.

-->Aku pun allergic ngan telor gak. Tapi kek, kuih raya sume aku bedal. Tapi kalau makan banyak sangat tu bila breastfeed Aiman, dia pun naik merah2 gak.

Citrus: Check with your pediatrician before giving citrus juice to your baby as it can cause allergies.

Peanuts: Peanuts and peanut butter can cause violent allergic reactions and shouldn't be given to children younger than 3 years old.

-->Ni satu lagi my allergies. Memang takleh rasa langsung. Terus gatal tekak. Uweeek!

-->Ayam : aku tak allergic ayam, tapi Aiman ye. Sebab bila aku makan ayam, breastfeed, nanti muka badan sume naik merah2 gatal. Sian dia. Kena pakai callemine lotion. Seminggu baru hilang. Dah lama tak rasa KFC :(

-->Seafood : Ni aku tak allergic, tapi Aiman. Dah lama gile tak makan udang sotong ketam. Hmmmmm teringinnnnn...

Jangan bagi anak minum air masak semata gak ok. Hehe. Saje je ckp sb ramai baby senang jatuh sakit camtu. Tadi consultant kat ward neonatalogy tu dah stresskan many-many times.
