<For allergic families, it is generally recommended that parents wait at
east three to five years before considering the introduction of sesame and
nut products, as allergy to these is common and often anaphylactic.
Infants have no way to tell you that their throat is closing over and they
feel dizzy.>



That is really interesting since tehina is a staple food here and  sesame
has not been found to have any adverse affect on babies.  I suppose
allergies are a cultural issue.......

Recently there have been several cases of anaphylaxis in infants who
received artificial milk at age 3-6 months ( mother back at work, ran out of
pumped milk, and gave artificial ......one baby even lost consciousness.)
Now why can't that be on the list of foods not to give to children of
allergic families......ever!!
