infants

watching for

reactions

A wide variety of vegetables and fruits can be introduced over time. However, the recommendations to introduce one new food at a time still apply. Wait at least 1 week between each new food and watch the baby closely for reactions. Observe babies closely for reactions when introducing citrus fruits (e.g., orange, tangerine, grapefruit) because these foods may cause allergic reactions; these foods should not be introduced before 6 months of age.
