well i dont know any websites but i can tell you what i know. try giving your baby only one kind of food for 3-4 days and see, does he seem more fussy than normal, are his stools normal, is he more gassy than usual, did he get any kind of rash? then change to another food and see how he responds to that. then go back to the first food and see if you get the same reaction. that will tell you if something is not agreeing with his tummy.

I don't know of a Web site, but the most common signs of an allergic reaction include: behavioral changes (crying more often, increased wakefulness, etc.), gassiness (more than usual), rashes (especially diaper rash), stuffy nose, blood in the bowel movement (usually a sign of dairy allergy), vomiting, change in bowel movements. But if you see *any* change, stop that food, wait a few days and see if it goes away. If so, and if giving the food again makes it start again, it is probably an allergic reaction.

You could check http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com I'm not sure if they will have the signs to look for but there are sample menus and guidelines about starting solids. They might have some other links, too.
Also, http://www.mothering.com will probably have great resources there as well. Mothering.com is pretty holistic and writes articles all the time about food allergies, so they would probably have somewhere articles about what to look for.
good luck!

I'm not sure of a site but the book What To Expect The First Year is an awesome resource. My son wouldn't take veggies first, he wanted fruits. They're sweeter and babies usually like them more. I'm not sure what your situation is (if he's new to them or just starting), but it does take their systems a little while to adjust to new foods. When I was feeding Jack fruits, even though they're relatively easy on him, I'd feed him a spoonful or two of prunes to help him with his... less pleasant bodily functions. (Less pleasant for me, of course, not for him).
