The main food allergies are eggs, milk/milk products, strawberries, nuts (including peanuts/peanut butter, wheat, soy, citrus fruits, whey and seafood. You never really know what your child is allergic to until you feed it to them. Just introduce one new food a week and watch for a reaction. We discovered my daughter was allergic to peaches at 8 mths by doing this. We also discovered that my son was allergic to citrus fruit, and ruhbarb when he was 2. You never know until you try. I do know they recommend you stay away from the common allergies until they are atleast 1. Sometimes even 2 or older. Especially if there is a history of food allergies on the paternal side of the family. Raw honey is a no go until 2 due to the risk of botulism. The Honey Nut Cheerios contains nuts, so avoidance of them is recommended. Talk to your childs Dr. about the food. They will always be your best resource for information.
