Introducing Wheat & Gluten

[Peteys Girl]

One of my girlfriends is a coeliac and is BF her 3 month old and was wondering when she should introduce wheat and Gluten into her little girls diet - one nurse told her 4 months - but thats seems a little early?? Does anyone know where I can point her to find out more?

Maybe she should get intouch with the coelic society - but she doesn't have to do it at this stage

The recent recomendation are that you can start introducing solids from 4 months but you don't have too

Get her to read up about baby led weaning

The problem I see for her is that her own food can become contaminated as babies are generally so messsy when they eat - there'd be nothing wrong with not introducing wheat until the child was two even
