The ASCIA (Australasian Society of Clinical Immunology and Allergy) published their new infant feeding guidelines last year. There were a some significant points:

- Solid foods should not be introduced before 4 months.
- There are no particular allergenic foods that need to be avoided.
- There have been some suggestions that delaying introduction of foods may actually increase (rather than decrease) allergy, however at this stage this is not proven.
- There is insufficient evidence to support previous advice to specifically delay or avoid potentially allergenic foods (such as egg, peanuts, nuts, wheat, cow's milk and fish) for the prevention of food allergy or eczema. This also applies to infants with siblings who already have allergies to these foods.
- From 4-6 months, when your child is ready, consider introducing a new food every 2-3 days according to what the family usually eats (regardless of whether the food is thought to be highly allergenic).
- Exclusion of allergenic foods from the maternal diet has not been shown to prevent allergies.
