I researched introduction of wheat when Flynn was little and found a US study that showed the "late" introduction of wheat (ie: late was considered to be after 7 months!) was as much an indicator of developing coeliacs disease as "early" introduction (ie: before 5 months). But the sample was children who already had one other close family member (parent/sibling) with CD, so how this applicable this is to other kids I don't know. But in light of that study I introduced Flynn to solids at 5 months with a view to introducing wheat at spot on six months (not that I had CD, I just have a sensitivity as does DH).
