what is NOT OK for babies to eat under 1 year of age?

Answer 1

Honey is the only real medical concern as it can cause infant botulism. Obviously try to avoid other food poisoning as well.

Milk is generally not given as it would replace needed breastmilk or formula. However some sources say cheese and yogurt are fine because the bacteria "digests the protein".

The top 9 allergens that account for 90% of all allergies are: Milk (particularly protein like casien and whey), soy, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, seafood, wheat, eggs (particularly the whites) and sulphites (which isn't a food but rather a preservative.

However many parents introduce these foods in the form of teething biscuits, bread, cereal, formula etc and skip other foods which are touted as allergens such as citrus and berries. I have get to see an research that justifies denying children berries and citrus fruit. Though too much acidic food can cause an upset stomach of course.

Answer 2

Honey, nuts, some seafoods, strawberries, etc. ANything with a high allergy chance. Oh yea, and milk is supposed to be held off until a year also.

The person below me is right about the eggs, but I know one can be given either yolks or whites before a year old, I forgot which one though.

I don't know where the water thing comes into play considering the major ingredient in both breast milk and formula is water. A baby needs water for hydration.

Speak to your physician at each appointment and ask what new foods you can introduce.

Answer 3

Honey, nuts, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and boysenberries (but blueberries and cranberries are fine), egg whites, shellfish, cow's milk, wheat. These are all allergenic, or in honey's case, contain botulism toxins harmful to an infant. In a baby with no problems eating oats and barley and no history of wheat allergies or gluten intolerance, you can try whole wheat breads around 8 or 9 months.
Acidic foods (citrus fruits and tomatoes) should be approached cautiously, near a year or so. They tend to be harsh on a baby tummy.
Oh, and about the plain water being dangerous. It's called water intoxication. Most infants who die from it are very young, not even close to a year, and were either given bottles of water or had their formula diluted too heavily. The research shows no baby under 6 months needs water, unless directed by a doctor in cases of constipation or diarrhea. After a variety of solids are introduced, closer to 9 months, a few ounces of water at a time after nursing or drinking a bottle of formula is totally fine. It's much better than all the sugar in juice!

Answer 4

you are typical of the type of person who makes false allegations of molestation. You are either deluding yourself, or lying for sympathy. Edit: Everandever, you are an fool. She is clearly mentally ill and making false allegations. Cases like this are common, and detract from the attention real cases of abuse deserve. there were hundreds of cases of sick individuals making such false allegations back in the 1990s. They almost all had stories similar to this in which they claimed to have 'repressed memories'. this sort of troublemaking by the mentally ill, abetted by equally disturbed therapists , is so well documented that there are literally thousands of academic papers and dozens of books about it. Edit: I also see that the organization you linked her to has a long history of planting false memories of abuse in the minds of the mentally ill. these stories have been proven false again and again.
