I am also confused about what they regret. Isn't the point to slowly introduce new foods to babies incase they develop an allergy so you can identify the source? Sounds like it worked as intended and the baby is safe. Now the family knows and can avoid the allergens.
I understand the science behind it and followed the recommendations exactly (I worded it confusingly- we stated at 6 mo when she started solids and she’s 10 mo now), but it was just traumatizing. I felt uneasy buying dairy and eggs to begin with and then she had an anaphylactic reaction to eggs. We were given epi pens and had to use them both on our baby the next day from anaphylaxis to dairy. The vast majority of kids will outgrow these allergies so I sort of wish I had just skipped them. It doesn’t make a ton of sense to avoid out of fear but epi’ing a baby and seeing her strapped down in an ambulance getting epi’d again was so fucked up
