Milo has been eating solids for about four weeks now. And he has had everything from prunes to mango, spinach to rutabaga... and we've started some chicken. Many of these were offered as combinations. {Side note... pears and squash pair well together.} And no. I did not wait 3-5 between new foods. What????? But what about food allergies? One. We we have no history of allergies in our families. Two. If a severe reaction is going to happen... I have a feeling it will happen within 24 hours. Three. I'm going to be cautious and aware, but ultimately our bodies were made to consume these foods. You'd be amazed at how bent out of shape people can get if you break the 3-5 day rule. If you read online... you'd think you child is going to die if you don't wait 3-5 days between offering sweet potatoes and pears. And my intention is not to make light of food allergies. I understand they can be very serious.

My point is this. The ingredients listed above are all of the ingredients of the vaccines recommended to be given at 4 months of age... at the same time mind you. (Of course that varies depending on the brand of vaccine administered.) I just find it so ridiculous that in our country... it is acceptable to inject your 4 month old with that but by no means should you break the 3-5 day food rule.

Does anyone else see the stupidity in that?
