Food this week has been fun, and we have begun to introduce some common allergens to Clara’s diet to see how she gets on with them. She had baby rice and yoghurt with no sign of a reaction, but we introduced egg for the first time with more mixed success. On the plus side, Clara seemed to enjoy it, however, she threw up quite a bit afterwards so she may have an allergy – we will need to test this again at a later point. I read somewhere that yolks have a lower allergy risk than whites, so maybe next time we try egg we will just do the yolks and then reintroduce the whites again a bit later on.

We have also been making the most of the local area this week with a few lovely walks in the nearby countryside to see the baby lambs that were born a couple of weeks ago. Obviously, Clara is still too young to appreciate this but it will be so nice to do these kind of afternoons when she is a little older and can join in spotting the wildlife with me!
