Key safety rules & supplements

Keep vitamin D on schedule and monitor for allergic symptoms.

Low RiskGlobal

Supplement breastfed infants with 400 IU vitamin D daily

Provide 400 IU of vitamin D daily from birth for breastfed or partially breastfed infants; reassess after 12 months when the target increases to 600 IU.

Recommended

  • Start vitamin D drops soon after birth for exclusively or partially breastfed infants
  • Review dosing at well-child visits once the child reaches 12 months
  • Demonstrate proper administration (onto nipple or inside cheek)

Avoid

  • Do not exceed recommended doses without clinician guidance
  • Do not assume formula-fed infants need supplementation if intake already provides 400 IU

Why it matters: Vitamin D supports bone and immune health; breast milk alone does not meet the requirement.

Compliance note: Summarizes CDC vitamin D guidance; confirm dosing with the child’s clinician.

Egg

Eggs provide protein and choline; regular intake supports early allergen tolerance.

Serving guidance

6-8m

Serve fully cooked mashed egg yolk mixed with breast milk or vegetable purée.

  • Texture: Smooth mash
  • Prep: Hard-boil for 10 minutes, mash yolk thoroughly.
  • Notes: Offer a small amount for the first exposure and watch for reactions.
9-12m

Offer scrambled egg or steamed egg cut into strips.

  • Texture: Soft curds or custard-like strips
  • Prep: Cook without added salt; slice into finger-length pieces.
  • Notes: Maintain exposure several times per week once tolerated.

Tips

  • Serve eggs fully cooked to avoid Salmonella

Avoid

  • Avoid runny yolks or undercooked eggs for infants

Portion hint: 6-8 months: start with 1/4 yolk per meal, gradually increase to half an egg.

Peanut butter

Peanut butter is an allergen that should be introduced in safe forms to build tolerance.

Serving guidance

6-8m

Thin peanut butter with breast milk, formula, or warm water to a runny consistency and offer in small amounts.

  • Texture: Smooth, pourable paste
  • Prep: Mix 2 tsp peanut butter with 2–3 tsp warm liquid until thin.
  • Notes: Offer first exposure at home during the day and observe for 2 hours.
9-12m

Spread a thin layer on toast fingers or soft oat bars.

  • Texture: Thin coating that dissolves easily
  • Prep: Apply a 1–2 mm layer and serve with water or milk.
  • Notes: Continue offering at least 3 times per week to maintain tolerance.

Tips

  • Keep emergency plan ready for high-risk infants

Avoid

  • Do not serve whole peanuts or thick spoonfuls of peanut butter

Portion hint: 2 teaspoons of diluted peanut butter each time, at least 3 times per week.

Allergen introduction and maintenance plan

Introduce major allergens around 6 months under clinician guidance and maintain weekly exposure thereafter.

步骤

1. 确认宝宝健康，无严重湿疹或已知过敏（如有请先咨询专科）。

2. 按顺序尝试花生、鸡蛋、牛奶制品、鱼、芝麻。

3. 每种食物首次少量，间隔 2 小时观察，再补足当天量。

4. 一周 3 次维持，避免超过两周未接触。

Checklist

  • [warning] 首次尝试安排在白天，家中备有紧急联系人
  • [action] 记录每次引入的时间与反应

Hybrid BLW + spoon-feeding pathway

Blend self-feeding with spoon-feeding so infants practice oral-motor skills while meeting nutrition goals.

Why combine approaches?

- BLW fosters chewing and self-regulation; spoon-feeding ensures nutrient-dense foods.

Implementation

1. Prepare two textures per meal: a soft finger food and an iron-rich purée.

2. Allow self-exploration first, then offer purée responsively.

3. Maintain 90-90-90 seating and choking precautions.

Checklist

  • [tip] Offer mashable finger foods at every lunch or dinner
  • [action] Preload spoons to support self-feeding

Emergency readiness

Introduce allergens in daylight hours with medical support available. Contact an allergist when severe eczema or family history is present before starting. For signs of an allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), call emergency services immediately.
