Barley
6+ moGrainsContains wheat
Allergen: wheat
Barley contains a common allergen (wheat). Current guidelines recommend introducing allergens early (from 6 months) as this may reduce allergy risk. Introduce on its own, offer a small amount first, and wait 2-3 days before introducing another new allergen. Watch for signs of allergic reaction: hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Consult your pediatrician if your baby is at high risk for allergies.
How to Prepare
Cook pearl barley until very soft in broth or water. Slightly chewy texture is good for older beginners. Can be mixed into soups and stews.
Nutritional Highlights
