It is important to know what foods are good for baby, and at what time will she be ready to try them. I tried following books, but found that my judgment best guided what I let her try. It should be said, however, that there are a few things baby should avoid until she's a bit older. Honey should not be given to children under three years of age. It is possible for a child to become violently ill because of the intake of even a small amount of honey, which may harbor a bacterium adults are immune to.
Many physicians also recommend that pregnant women stay away from honey, as well.
From my understanding, the most harm can occur from the ingestion of actual honey, say, from a spoon. Eating something such as Honey Nut Cheerios would not present a problem. Egg whites should be avoided for the first year of life. If an allergy is developed before the vaccine, it makes for a difficult time immunizing baby. As tasty as it is, peanut butter, and peanut products should also be avoided in very young children.
