Our Dr told us the 4 day rule...that being said, she also told us that the 4 day rule was most so you could find "sensitivites", like if it gave the baby diaper rash or gas or whatever. She said like most thing, the baby, if allergic would have a reaction to the food the first 1-2 times that they have it. We give both meals in one day the new food, then go back for a day to other foods he is on, and then do one more day, two meal (usually breakfast and dinner) of the "new food" and then I call it good. He has reacted slightly to applesauce at first with some diaper rash, but it cleared right up and now he does great on it. We're going to try yogurt this weekend, and/or some beets I think. He has quite a variety of foods so I don't even really notice when I try something new...except last night.

Last night we went out to eat and he chowed down on avacado with his cereal. Then I let him have some prunes after. He did great. He even mushed on a fry for a few minutes. I'm not sure if it was the excitement or what, but he ended up throwing up ALL over me. It was great. Course he had a change of clothes and was fine in 5 minutes, I was soaked and stunk the rest of the night.

So we're going to wait, and try avacado again another time...maybe when DH is holding him
