How can I tell if my son has food allergies?

Posted by: Baby Food Grinder  /  Category: baby food questions

My son is 8 months old. We give him Gerber cereal and jarred food. No matter what he eats he rubs his eyes and face (as if they itch) shortly after he starts eating. Could this be some sort of allergy? If so, what can I feed him? Anyone had the same problem?

Why do they put allergenic foods in baby food?

Posted by: Baby Food Grinder  /  Category: baby food questions

I am trying to keep allergenic foods away from my 7 month old daughter, as I’ve read there are many foods she shouldn’t have until her first birthday. Why then do baby food companies put strawberries, egg whites, citrus, and milk products in baby foods if babies aren’t supposed to eat them?
