Child Food allergies
Your child can begin eating solid foods at about 6 months old.
Let your child try one single-ingredient food at a time at first. This helps you see if your child has any problems with that food, such as food allergies. Wait 3 to 5 days between each new food.
This method is reactionary and could send the child to the emergency room for a severe allergic reaction.
In 2010 the average Emergency Room cost was $345 for allergies. https://www.debt.org/medical/emergency-room-urgent-care-costs/
Instead, why not try and prevent an emergency room visit by finding out what your child is allergic to first?
A basic food allergy panel takes a blood sample and detects food allergens like seafood, cow's milk, egg whites, peanuts, soy, nuts and wheat for $160.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) developed a set of comprehensive health guidelines for well-child care, known as the "periodicity schedule."
It is a schedule of screenings and assessments recommended at each well-child visit from infancy through adolescence.

Contact the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Request they place a blood food allergy test onto the periodicity schedule.
