Introducing allergens to your baby can feel a bit overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. With our allergen introduction calendar, you can confidently navigate this important milestone in your baby’s solid food journey. Below, you’ll find a week-by-week schedule designed to help you introduce common allergens safely and effectively.
Before diving into the schedule, here are some essential tips to keep in mind:
Note that you can have a week or two off in between allergen introductions if you need a break or are traveling etc.
Eggs are a common allergen as well as a regular ingredient in lots of foods, so it’s a good idea to get this out the way earlier on.
Ways to introduce egg:
Wheat is a staple in many diets, so it’s good to introduce it early on to make life easier.
Ways to introduce wheat:
Dairy is another common food which is handy to get out the way early so you can feed bub good things like Greek yoghurt.
Ways to introduce dairy:
It’s good to get peanuts out of the way by 10 months so you can build up bubs tolerance. If you’re feeling a bit nervous you can smear the teeniest bit of peanut butter on the inside of bubs lips and wait a couple mins to see if there's a reaction before offering bub some to eat.
Ways to introduce peanuts:
Use peanut butter or peanut meal (found in our allergen intro pack)
Soy is another good one to get out of the way because its a common ingredient used in a lot of baked goods like bread.
Ways to introduce Soy:
Fish is packed with nutrients especially salmon with its omega-3 fatty acids.
Ways to introduce fish:
Ways to introduce sesame
Week’s 8 - 17 are the Tree Nuts our allergen intro pack contains each of the 9 tree nuts individually blended to make life easier.

It’s best to introduce crustaceans and molluscs separately as babies can be allergic to one and not the other.
Ways to introduce thoroughly cooked shellfish
Once you’ve successfully introduced an allergen, it’s important to continue offering it to your baby twice a week. This ongoing exposure can help reduce the chances of your baby developing an allergy in the future. To make life easier with the 9 different Tree Nuts we have created a Tree Nut Maintenance Mix which contains a blend of finely ground tree nuts.
Our allergen intro pack includes all the allergens mentioned above (except fish, shellfish, and wheat). It’s designed to make the process easier and more convenient for you, giving you peace of mind as you navigate this crucial stage in your baby’s development.
