Taste Bubs is designed to introduce your baby to the 7 most common food allergens that account for the majority of food allergy reactions. These allergens are carefully selected based on the current clinical guidelines and research on early allergen introduction. While Taste Bubs covers the majority of food allergens, it may not include every possible allergen, as individual sensitivities can vary.

The current recommendations suggest introducing solid foods, including allergens, around six months of age (but not before four months) and when your baby shows signs of readiness for solids. Every baby is different, so it's essential to look for signs that your baby is ready to start solids, such as holding their head up, showing interest in food, and being able to move food to the back of the mouth and swallow.

Although Taste Bubs is designed for safe allergen introduction, it's impossible to predict whether an individual baby will have an allergic reaction. Yes, we know that early introduction can reduce the risk of developing allergies. BUT, there are other factors involved like genetics and where you live (did you know, people who live in more remote areas have lower rates of food allergy?). We describe the risk of food allergies as a genetic and environmental interplay. Early introduction is one of the environmental factors that we can improve to reduce the risk. Reactions can vary from mild to severe, and it's essential to monitor your baby closely when introducing any new foods, including Taste Bubs. If your child has a suspected or confirmed allergen please do not give them that Tastes Bubs sachet. Unfortunately, exposure with Taste Bubs will not get rid of an established allergy.

Yes, Taste Bubs can be mixed with breast milk, formula, or other age-appropriate foods like purees, yogurts, and cereals. This flexibility makes it easy to incorporate Taste Bubs into your baby's regular meals and ensure a smooth introduction of allergens. Depending on the type of lid or teat, Taste Bubs powders may be too thick to pass through some bottles if mixed with liquids, just like a smoothie would be. But it works great through a straw, on a spoon and through most sippy cups :)

Taste Bubs includes 7 of the most common food allergens: egg, peanuts, walnut, cashew, almond, sesame, and soy. These allergens account for the majority of food allergy reactions, making Taste Bubs an effective way to introduce your baby to these potential allergens early on.

If your baby shows signs of an allergic reaction after consuming Taste Bubs, stop giving that food and seek medical advice immediately. Symptoms can include hives, swelling, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, or a sudden drop in blood pressure. It's essential to act quickly and consult with a healthcare professional to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.

As per the current clinical guidelines, it is recommended to start introducing solid foods around six months of age (not before four months), and when your baby is ready. Signs that your baby is ready to start solids include good head control, sitting upright with support, showing interest in food, and being able to open their mouth and swallow food.

It is important to avoid foods that can cause choking such as whole nuts, popcorn, hard candies, and raw fruits and vegetables that are not grated or cooked. Other foods to avoid in the first year include cow's milk, honey, and sugary or salty foods. Always supervise your baby while they are eating and cut food into small, bite-sized pieces.
