What foods should I not give to my baby?<br />
Avoid giving your baby:<br />
• Egg whites until one year corrected age. This reduces the chance of an<br />
allergic reaction.<br />
• Peanut butter until two year corrected age. This reduces the chance of an<br />
allergic reaction.<br />
• Honey to your baby. Honey may cause botulism, which is a type of food<br />
poisoning.<br />
• Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes, <strong>and</strong> grapefruit) during the first year as<br />
they may cause an allergic reaction.<br />
• Cow’s milk until your baby is 12 months corrected age<br />
a. Only offer homo (homogenized) cow’s milk.<br />
b. Avoid giving Skim, 1% <strong>and</strong> 2% milk as babies need the fat in the milk<br />
to grow <strong>and</strong> develop normally.<br />
• Dairy products that are “low fat”, “skim” or “light”.<br />
• Soy drinks (except soy <strong>for</strong>mula), rice or other drinks or herbal teas.<br />
