Your 11 Month Old & Allergens: How To Maintain Consistency
By 11 months, allergens shouldn’t feel like a “test” anymore - they’re simply foods.
If your baby tolerates peanut, egg, dairy, wheat (and others), keep offering them regularly. Ongoing exposure helps maintain tolerance.
What does that look like in real life?
• Peanut butter on toast once a week
• Scrambled egg at breakfast
• Yoghurt as a snack
• Pasta or bread at meals
There’s no strict schedule - just consistency.
You don’t need large portions - but small, repeated exposures are enough. The “why” is simple: immune systems learn through familiarity, and the more that these foods are included in the normal rhythms, the better.
By keeping these foods in rotation, you’re supporting long-term confidence, both nutritionally and immunologically. 💛
