I'm surprised that article says BEFORE 6 months when current gudelines say not to introduce any food UNTIL 6 months. I knew they were recommending not to wait on introducing common allergens though. Everything except honey is fine before 12 months. Edit: RE goldenlove3 post about peanuts
When I saw this headline earlier today my thought was of dabbing some PB on her wrist and then her cheek. If we intro any food before 6 months (DS had his first at 5 months + like 20 days) I will give her a taste I guess?

That's what I did with B; we don't have a family history of allergies and I think he was 8 or so months at the time.
Interestingly, the thing he ended up being allergic to was raw carrots! Not in a life-threatening way, but he'd break out in a mild rash if they came in contact with his skin. I think he's mostly outgrown far now, though.
First the toddler, I made a few changes to bedtime (a little later, a longer routine, and then very frequent and brief check ins after leaving - like starting with 10 sec then 20 sec etc). He stayed in bed and was asleep by 8, thank god!!
With the baby, I swaddled her. Which I hadn't done at all. O never liked it so I just never did it with E. Silly mistake. I swaddled and fed her, put her down in the bassinet by 830 where she stayed until 130! She hasn't slept in her bassinet since like 2 weeks old! Fed her quietly then out her back in from 2 to 5am!
It's 730 and they are both still sleeping. I am ready to take on the world!
