If mama and dad have allergies what are solid food intro guidelines?

[~Megan~]

I'm lactose intolerant and dh has signs of gluten intolerance (dd1 has signs of celiac's and tested positive for wheat and gluten).

dd2 is 5 months so I'm thinking ahead for starting solids. With the other two kids we introduced single ingredient fruits and veggies at 6 months, did oats at 9 months, and meats at 1 yr along with dairy and egg.

What should we do for dd2? Obviously we can't prevent some allergies or Celiac's if they are genetically predisposed but how should we introduce solids?

I definitely wouldn't introduce any uncooked foods and no grains until well after 6 months. And no dairy until age 2, minimum. Cooked meat would probably be one of the first foods, once baby is able to chew and swallow it safely, independently.
