I waited a week between foods.

Some people say give them the same food for a week and watch for a reaction, others say giving a baby the same food all the time can cause them to develope allergies. I'm having fun watching my baby try lots of different foods when I feed him. Yesterday sweet potatoes, the day before bananas. Just have fun with it. Very few babies have food allergies unless it runs in the family.

Go for it!! Just be aware of things like fish, eggs, and be very careful of anything that might contain nuts, or even nutoils.
Things like vegetables and fruit are unlikely to be a problem - just feed them lovely fresh wholesome food and you will be fine! Mine loved stewed pears, apples, etc and mashed potato with the carrots! Ohhh and a little bit of chicken too.

Sometimes it can take food allergies up to three days to show so I would say every three days just in case. That's what I did.
Although if food allergies run in your families I would do one food per week.
